Fitness tips for someone who wants to become a firefighter?

I'll keep this short. I want to become a firefighter, and I'm going to apply when I'm 18, which is in four months. Obviously firefighters need to be in peak physical fitness, which is something I am not. I'm a 17 year old who sits around all day playing Xbox and watching movies. I'm not in eduction, at the moment and I haven't currently got a job, so I'm not active at all. Also, as I live with my parents I can't really change my diet drastically, because they won't go out a buy lots of healthy stuff just for me. So, what's a good way I can drop my belly fat, and generally get fit enough to pass the fitness tests for firefighter training, in about 6 months, or faster if possible? Thank you very much!

    Do crunches every night limit your self to how much you eat do wall squats, run run and run some more. My dad is a Chicago fire fighter it is extremely difficult to get on you have to dedicate your life to it you gotta have the no fear mentality and a big heart. Find a brink or a heavy rock lift it just anything active just don't set around and be lazy. Get a ladder climb up and down for 10 minutes.
