Aurora Fire Rescue took advantage of the spring-like weather on March 20th, 2021 to conduct annual pack testing. The pack test is a physical fitness test for wildland firefighters who must meet minimum fitness requirements. The test is intentionally stressful as it tests the capacity of muscular strength and aerobic endurance. Firefighters must complete a 3-mile hike with a 45-pound pack in 45 minutes. Firefighters from Stations 4, 5, 8, 9 and 16 participated in the test. Falck Medic 107 was on hand to assist if needed.
