THE TESTING PROCESS
First is the application period. All applications must be turned in on time, and all requirements met. Then is the Aptitude test/Written & math exam. These test typically take 2 to 3 hours to complete and consist of 100 to 300 questions. Most departments require a 70% or higher score to move on to the Physical Ability Test. Firefighting is a physically demanding profession. A physical ability test is used to identify candidates who meet the basic physical requirements for the job. The physical ability is a pass/fail test. A series of physical tasks are performed. The tasks are determined by specific job requirements that are required of a firefighter on the fire ground. Applicants will wear a helmet, turnout coat, gloves, AND breathing apparatus. The test is timed and candidates must complete the course within the established time standard. Usually a pass/fail is given. If you pass you will then move onto the Interview Panel and Chiefs interview.
