Fifty-five firefighter-hopefuls started training this week at the Cincinnati Fire Drill School. Friday morning, next to Station 29 at Liberty and Linn, dozens of recruits were exercising, carrying air tanks as they ran across the lot, hitting giant tires with sledgehammers or listening to a veteran talk.
District Chief of Training Hugh Hains says each recruit had to climb an extended ladder.
"We can talk theory a lot but when you get your hands on it and there's nothing between the ground and you but a ladder 100 feet up and it's breezy, you get to make a decision whether this is something you want to do or not."
Hains says they don't want recruits to wash out, and have lots of experienced firefighters on hand to help with the training.
