Aug 10, 2006; Long Beach, CA, USA; Abraham Mia and his teammates, rehydrate themselves after a particularly exhausting tower drill. But morale and confidence is high, with no mistakes recorded. The high level of physical fitness demanded by the LAFD is something the firefighters take particular pride in, and knowing that the drill instructors are always watching, no recruit can afford to take it easy. The training program of the Los Angeles Fire Department is notorious for it's toughness, and for good reason; any firefighter in southern California must be capable of dealing with more hazards than anywhere else in the country; ranging from earthquakes and forest fires, to flash floods, ocean rescues and skyscraper emergencies. Not to mention everything else that comes with the second largest city in the country, spanning 450 square miles. Drilltower 40 is one such training center. Here, average joe's with big dreams walk in, but only a few, as firefighters, walk out. The atmosphere at Drilltower 40 is clearly 'bootcamp.' With military precision, recruits are constantly jogging, navigating their steps around the complex by the cracks in the pavement. Stepping off those cracks will earn you a mile sprint in full fire equipment. The 12 week program is clearly designed to separate the wheat from the chaff, as discipline and teamwork replace individuality and ego. Mandatory Credit: Photo by Robert Gallagher/ZUMA Press.
