Minimum Fitness Standards
Firefighting is a very physical job. Due to this we have a mandatory physical fitness assessment which must be completed on the first day of duty. This is a way to gauge your fitness level right away. You must come prepared and have been involved in a training program for several months prior to your start date!
Required physical test consists of:
- The pack test - carrying a 45 pound pack 3 miles in under 45 minutes.
Along with the pack test the applicant is expected to try and meet the goals listed below:
- 4 -7 pull-ups, depending on body weight
- 45 sit-ups in under a minute
- 25 push-ups in under a minute
- 10 bar dips
-1 1/2 mile run under 10 minutes and 45 seconds
