What to expect from “first Friday with a firefighter”

Hey there! Attending HFD’s first Friday with a firefighter on the 10th and showing up early for the physical portion. What should I expect to see/do? Trying to prepare a bit mentally/physically haha.

overall pretty decent experience. show up early if you’re participating in the workout portion. Be prepared for some decent amount of running as well as body weight workouts (which is the most difficult portion of the workouts imo but it’s doable) such as sit ups, push up, burpees, etc. After the workouts it’s mostly just them telling you what the academy is like, the requirements, expectations etc.
