My son and his wife are firefighters. It’s the slackest job and basically the waste of money is crazy. Now before you carry on I was an intensive care paramedic and have seen everything and there is no comparison with these jobs. The fire brigade is a joke

Looks amazing, I'm onto the ability test stage of recruitment (in Wales) which I'm pretty anxious about pretty sure I already have the fitness and strength required as I live a pretty disciplined lifestyle. Getting an hour a day for physical exercise as part of a job is a dream come true! Thank you for your work and a great video. :)

Always wanted to be in emergency services, but I was born with hearing loss in one ear. That's it. That's all it takes to make me "unsuitable". Doesn't matter what I do or how hard I work for any of it. My physical fitness, intelligence and willingness to run into dangerous situations is worthless. Not just to public services, but a lot of businesses (even office jobs) have rejected my applications because of it. That's the UK for you; treats people with disabilities like shit. Fucking sucks!

I wanted to join the military and/or police after uni but unfortunately developed epilepsy. I had dreams of doing a private pilot license in my 30s too (which I've just entered), but all of these things are out of reach for me now. It's crap but I get it. I would be a liability, which is dangerous for me and everyone else. I know I'd want the fire fighter rescuing me to be in peak condition.
