There is no question that many of us take the time to appreciate the risks that our first responders take every single day. When danger is upon us, they don't hesitate to be first on the scene, putting their lives on the line to save ours.

It's a dangerous job, but someone has to do it.

Preparation is key

It's no secret that being a first responder on the frontline means you have to be in decent shape. This is especially true for our Boise firefighters who boast incredible physiques which they proudly get to show off in their new 2025 calendar.

But, how does one wind up that fit? How does someone achieve their lifelong goal of being featured in the Boise firefighter calendar?

For starters, you actually have to be a firefighter. According to their website, your window to complete a written exam and an application is quickly approaching; that window is between September 1, 2024, to October 31, 2024.

Once you get through all of the paperwork, the real fun begins with the physical fitness test (and oral interviews.)

According to the City of Boise, only 100 applicants will be selected from the written stage to participate in the physical fitness test. Keep reading to see if you have what it takes to complete the firefighter physical fitness test...
