General physical fitness standards, any tips from those who have gone through it already, also how the written test to get in works.

You'd have much better luck here for that kind of information. Especially since AFD is fire only, and I don't think even recognizes paramedics (so you won't get any AFD guys here). I know a few guys at AFD, but I couldn't answer any of those questions. I do know their entrance exam is ridiculous. It's more of a psych test than anything

I can confirm this. It's a civil service exam then a giant psych evaluation and digging deep into your personal history. It's not an easy process.
As far as physical standards they're pretty straightforward and comparable to any other fire academy.
