Take the Firefighter Agility Test

The Firefighter Agility Test is designed to determine whether applicants are physically suited for a career in fire service. It may also indicate whether or not an applicant has a fear of confined spaces, a fear of heights, is able to follow directions or has difficulty with hand-eye coordination.

The Agility Test consists of the following 5 tasks:

  • Hose Line Extension
  • Hose Line Hoist
  • Phobia Event
  • Rescue Event
  • Kaiser Sled Event

On the day of your Agility Test, applicants will view a video that shows the proper way to complete each of the 7 tasks. A Test Proctor will be assigned to each station to repeat your instructions.

Waiver of Liability

Applicants must sign a Waiver of Liability Form before participating in the Agility Test.

Applicants successfully completing the Agility Test will be given a Fire Division Background Questionnaire, a list of Required Documentation, and scheduled for the next step of the process.
