Well I tested at number 11 out of 39 and then proceeded to fail the physical with flying colors.
Got halfway through the dummy drag (last thing) and my legs just caved. Got up, went like 2 more feet with the dummy, fell again and timed out. Didn't puke at least.
First thing was running 100 feet with 1 3/4 charged hose, had a roll of 50 foot hose tied up and had to raise it to the ceiling and back down twice, pushing a box 25 feet, kaiser sled (this is where I wore myself out), 3 inch hose for 50 feet, lifting a ladder off the truck stepping back 2 feet and setting it down, picking up a fan (~30 pounds) and going around the truck and placing it back, then a dummy drag with a 175 lbs dummy for 100 feet.
Gotta do it in under 4:30 while wearing full bunker gear and SCBA on your back.
Sorry to hear things didn't work out, Weakness, but that does sound super-freaking intense, for sure. At least you can attempt again in a few weeks or whenever they open up the exam again (if you still wanted to try for it?) At least you'd know fully what to expect and could train up for the harder parts.

I named my FFXI mog-garden sheep UmjammerLamby...and I told everyone I knew, and no one got the reference at all (even Leo!) ;_; /too obscure :p
I loved Starcastle so much at the arcade, but the only way I could win (as a little kid) was to hold the thrust button down and fire repeatedly, then bounce off of the wall and thrust away at a random direction before the little stars could chase me, then come in from the opposite side of the screen. LOL /repeat until win :p
I remember how those old Vector graphics games had to "fake" colours by putting in coloured film overlays on top of the screen on the arcade cabinet. :p
