According to the L.A. Times, Burbank Fire Chief Mike Davis (at the time) said more than 2,000 people applied when the Fire Department announced it was recruiting firefighters in 1993. After a long process of written, oral, medical and psychological exams, the department pared the pool down to 19 recruits. As part of the Burbank Fire Department’s 1994 graduation ceremony the recruits extinguished a burning car, doused a four-story inferno and conducted a simulated rescue.
