Question Firefighter training

I am currently training towards a firefighter agility test in about 10 months. Right now I am a little sloppy I am 33 I weigh 235 and body fat is high (guessing 24% to 28%) . My diet needs improvement but I know I can nail it down after reading the fat loss trouble shoot. I have info overload on my training I just don’t know what to do anymore. What I want to achieve is speed, power and strength to blast through the agility test.
I am trying to design a program that will ensure an amazing score on the physical agility test. This is similar to what I will be doing. First, the firefighters must race up a five-storey tower lugging a 20-kilogram hose. Once at the top, they pull another hose up from below, race down the stairs and use a four-kilogram sledgehammer to drive a 74-kilogram steel beam a distance of 1.5 metres. Then, contestants must hit a target with water from a firehose and drag a 78-kilogram mannequin 30 metres to the finish line. There may also be push up ,pull-ups and a claustrophobia test.
What should I do ?? Please help me with your wealth of knowledge .
Thanks Bob Russell

If it were me, I'd divide and conquer. Plan out how to get lean(er) in perhaps 4 months (while not going backwards on strength/endurance) and then dedicate 6 months to killing the test.
Maybe post over the training discussion forum for assistance in building a workout plan for your goals.

I was hoping to get an answer from Leigh thats why I posted here. I think leaning out first would be a good plan also.
