    If you've got a fire mate you'd be better off phoning 999

    I need some information on joining up and entry level requirements.

    Specifically, eye sight requirements.

    Perhaps

    you should do as Zoe suggested and she can tell you if you are qualified!

    As to the requirements you specified - I think you have to be able to see

    A little...

    My eyesight is -5.50 in one eye and -6.00 in the other. I can't really interpret what those numbers (i.e. 6/24 etc..) mean? Any ideas?

    Cheers.

    Fire

    kills in minutes, but smoke kills in seconds.

    That and never play with matches.

    Oh and go on strike for a 15% pay rise every 2 years :D

    Seriously though I think you need to be able to reach level 11 on a bleep test, I know the fitness standards are very high.

    This might help

    Visual acuity scales

    Foot***Metre*** Decimal ***LogMAR

    20/200** 6/60****** 0.10 ******1.00
    20/160** 6/48 ******0.13 ******0.90
    20/120** 6/36 ******0.17****** 0.78
    20/100** 6/30 ******0.20****** 0.70
    20/80*** 6/24 ******0.25****** 0.60
    20/60*** 6/18 ******0.33****** 0.48
    20/50*** 6/15 ******0.40****** 0.40
    20/40*** 6/12****** 0.50****** 0.30
    20/30*** 6/9 *******0.63****** 0.18
    20/25*** 6/7.5***** 0.80****** 0.10
    20/20*** 6/6******* 1.00****** 0.00
    20/16*** 6/4.8***** 1.25****** -0.10
    20/12*** 6/3.6***** 1.67****** -0.22
    20/10*** 6/3 *******2.00****** -0.30


    I think the third column is your measurements and the second column is the fire services. The end column (Log Mar) is rarely used clinically so I doubt you have been measured on that scale.
