It involves carrying an almost 20 pound fire hose several blocks, running up several flights of stairs with the hose and running back down, crawling through a tight space with all your gear on, going into a smoky building where you can't see your hand in front of your face, get a 140 pound dummy, put it on your shoulder, and carry it out of the building.

What is a PACK TEST for firefighters?

The pack test is a standard test of strength, endurance and aerobic capacity. Wildland firefighters must qualify annually in a fitness test that involves carrying a calibrated backpack a calibrated distance in a limited time. For example, under current US guidelines, a firefighter expected to participate in arduous workload must carry a 45-pound pack 3 miles in under 45 minutes. Moderate or light workload would require a "field test" or "walk test". Smokejumpers, some of the most challenging work in firefighting, are often required to demonstrate they can carry a 110-pound pack 3 miles in 90 minutes, to simulate a "pack out" after an ordinary fire.
