I assume your area is an IFT/911 split as well?

Yeah. The county 911 contract is up for talks so not sure what's going to happen with AMR coming in.

Nothing to kill. a FIT test is a test to determine if a respirator fits correctly.

Here's hoping you got the sweet, not the stinky, spray.

Unfortunately I got the stinky spray. I got through the 75 pound curl bar going up and down the stairs backwards with it, 130 spine board lift and all the rest of those 9 stations. When I got to the 10th, I freaking fell. Game over. I can retest in 2 weeks, but now I'm intimidated by it and really, REALLY disappointed in myself.

The physical aglity test for AMR is to easy in my opinion. Get a good nights sleep and you'll breeze through it.

Are the tests the same across the board? I didn't think this was easy. Carrying 75 pounds up and down stairs backwards, lifting and holding 130 pounds on a backboard to name just a couple......I was just about there. I was on the next to last station. They frown on candidates falling down, though. :(

I believe the PAT is universal for AMR.

Great. Now I feel like even more of a wimp. It was an issue holding weight. By the time I got to the end, I was really shaky.
