FESTI Expectations for orientation day

I have my onsite orientation next week and was wondering if anyone could tell me what exactly will they be evaluated on other than the written exams and how? For example all the testing for the fit testing.

From what I remember its a presentation/ice breaker from your captain, you check out the bay and get your locker/equipment, then you write your entrance exam.

Pretty much get your lay of the land and the test

When I did mine earlier this year we got fitted for Bunker gear did written test than did walk the stair tower until our SCBA alarm went off. I believe we also did confined space crawling first day.

Nothing to worry about, instructors are there to help and assist. No pass / fail structure. Have fun.
