Default -12 and up 85 ft!!!

Did my interview for the fire school today. It is -12 and windy. Climbed the ladder 85 ft without a problem. Did the maze as well and that was fine. Now I just have to wait for news on if I can get in or not.

That sounds shitty to me. Reverse the numbers (85F and -12' up) and that would improve things significantly. Good luck though.

Why would you want to do a job that might require that? Cheese and Rice that sounds absolutely horrible.

I didn't even know a human could survive in those temps. I know I wouldn't.
