STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE, IT'S CYBERCHASE FOR REAL.
WOW, THAT'S A BEAUTY.
THANKS.
IT CERTAINLY GET'S ENOUGH WORK.
IT GETS 3000 CALLS A YEAR.
THERE'RE THAT MANY FIRES?
NO, SOME ARE FALSE ALARMS, SET OFF BY SMOKE DETECTORS.
SOME ARE SMALL FIRES, BUT EVEN SMALL FIRES CAN TURN INTO BIG ONES IN SECONDS.
HARRY: SINCE YOU'RE ALL GUYS, YOU GET TO LEAVE YOUR CLOTHES ALL OVER?
NICE.
FALSE.
FIREFIGHTERS ARE MEN AND WOMEN.
AND THAT'S NOT A MESS.
WHEN WE GET A CALL, WE ONLY HAVE SECONDS TO RESPOND.
SO WE JUST STEP INTO THE BOOTS, PULL UP THE OVERALLS AND WE'RE GOOD TO GO.
WOW!
(ALARM SOUNDS) (SIRENS) HARRY: I'VE DECIDED TO BECOME ONE OF NEW YORK CITY'S BRAVEST - FIREFIGHTER.
BUT IN ORDER TO PASS THE TEST I'VE BEEN STUDYING...
PRACTICING... AND BECAUSE FIREFIGHTERS HAVE TO BE IN TIP-TOP SHAPE I'VE BEEN WORKING OUT.
WHEN I FIRST STARTED TRAINING MY RATE, THE NUMBER OF STEPS PER MINUTE, WASN'T VERY GOOD.
TODAY, I'VE REACHED MY GOAL - MORE THEN 60 STEPS PER MINUTE.
AND I KEPT THAT PACE FOR 5 MINUTES.
♪♪ OH GREAT.
THIS WAY YOU CAN GET READY FOR THE PHYSICAL PART OF THE TEST.
GREAT.
HERE IS THE LINE GRAPH OF MY LAST WORKOUT.
THIS LOOKS VERY GOOD.
I'LL ENTER THIS DATA ON THE COMPUTER.
SEE YOU IN THE GYM.
WHERE IS YOUR EXERCISE GEAR?
I'M WEARING IT.
THIS IS A TEST TO SEE IF YOU CAN RUN UP THE STEPS OF A BRINING BUILDING NOT PLAY VOLLEYBALL AT THE BEACH.
GO GET SUITED-UP.
(PANTING) HARRY, YOU DID VERY WELL ON THE WRITTEN PART OF THE TEST, BUT LET ME SHOW YOU THE RESULTS FROM THE PHYSICAL EXAM.
THIS IS A LINE GRAPH FROM WHEN YOU WERE IN SHORTS AND SNEAKERS.
AND HERE ARE THE RESULTS FROM WHEN YOU WERE DRESSED IN FIREFIGHTERS GEAR.
WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT THESE TWO GRAPHS?
WELL, WITHOUT ALL THE HEAVY CLOTHING I REACHED MORE THEN 85 STEPS PER MINUTE.
AND THEN MAINTAINED A RATE OF MORE THEN 60 PER MINUTE FOR 5 MINUTES.
WHAT CAN YOU TELL FROM THE OTHER GRAPH?
WELL, WITH THE GEAR... I-I PEAKED AT AROUND 43 STEPS PER MINUTE AND THEN WENT DOWN TO 38... AND THEN STOPPED.
THAT'S VERY GOOD.
I PASSED?
NO, YOU DIDN'T.
BUT YOU REALLY KNOW YOUR GRAPHS.
IF YOU WANT OT HELP PEOPLE THERE'RE A LOT OF OTHER JOBS.
REALLY?
COULD I STILL SLIDE DOWN THE POLL?
