EMT/Firefighter Physical Agility Test (PAT)

[@SpartanRambo]

Good luck fellas and ladies! Today I’m taking my PAT test! Hope to see you all soon!

[@michaelolszewski706]

HOW DID YOU DO? interview date yet ?

[@minutees]

update? how was it?

[@SpartanRambo]

I have my last interview set for this Monday!

[@SpartanRambo]

@@behnkeforge i truly believe after the oral interview that’s it. You have to wait for them to reach out to you for the next step. I’m still waiting.

[@SpartanRambo]

Did any of the ladies who took the PAT pass?

[@ftwnerd1993]

I did this test a few weeks ago and I definitely got a good workout from it haha. They saved the best for last with the stair climb with hose.

[@BoostedDeere]

As a volunteer firefighter I can verify most physical agility test full time depts have are intense. I tried to do one. Lol. I was on oxygen by the end of it.

[@alexmatthews7706]

Sounds like a skill issue

probably why you’re a volunteer

I'm taking the test for the first time next month. I came here to see what to expect. The fire department is sending out a practice packet to my address so i can prepare. I hope I don't screw it up.

[@ProphecyPlayz]

damn this is easy as hell compared to the test I did before

I am 67 and I bet I could pass all those tests within the allotted time(s).

When you all hiring again?

[@willdiaz5366]

For anyone that took the CPAT and passed, did any of you receive the doctor's notice they said they were going to send out 4-6 weeks after?

[@YellowFireFish]

No I haven’t. I took and passed my test on Nov 28 and haven’t heard anything since. No doctors notice No anything.

[@willdiaz5366]

@@YellowFireFish Ok, cool. I feel like we're all left in the dark since the CPAT and they told us 4-6 weeks to receive something. But I called and they said they haven't sent anything out.

[@YellowFireFish]

@@willdiaz5366 I think it has to do with the latest Cov spike. During the interview portion at BCCC one of the lieutenants said that the academy would start on Jan 10th if you pass your CPAT during the first wave, Feb 4th if you passed the CPAT during the second wave. So that’s the only possible holdup I could think of. I hope they say something soon.

[@willdiaz5366]

@@YellowFireFish I remember the LT telling us the same exact thing during the interview, but he didn't give us dates. He just said at the end of January, February and then May or June or something like that.I called the office last week and they said they haven't sent anything out and to just look out for the e-mail. Kind of sucks to have everything happen quick and then just come to a complete stop. But I'm remaining optimistic.

[@YellowFireFish]

@@willdiaz5366 Did you hear anything from them yet?

I have kinda long dreads would I have to cut my hair for the cpat test

[@lexistacy9980]

You can have long hair and ear piercing male or female as long as you can tuck it away but no hoop earrings bc they could get caught on things

firefighters should have to be more fit than this, I feel like the average person who works out once or twice a week could complete this easily

@Steven Kelley God Bless our military! Thanks Steven.

[@AndrewTa530]

@Steven Kelley In 2021, Baltimore police said there were 337 homicides. There were more than 726 shootings in total. Let's go Brandon!

[@_theghost_1446]

@@AndrewTa530 Come on dude! A simple search shows Baltimore homicides for last 5 years has been 342 starting in 2017, 309 in '18, 348 in '19, 335 in '20, your stat for '21, and so far 49 this year. Biden's an old coot. But think about it, because you simply don't like Biden, you're implying that he is causing these rates, that have stayed at an average of 334.4 over the last 5 years?? This is why the left act so pompous, because of people on the right that don't like OUR PRESIDENT( OUR as in everyone that lives in this free country) revert to caveman logic. There was 3 line of duty deaths on Jan 24, when 3 Firefighters perished due to a building collapse while they were searching for a possible trapped victim. Those brave 3 were the first LOD deaths since 2014, when a Firefighter fell through the floor and subsequently died from smoke inhalation. It's amazing what 15 minutes of actual fact checking can do to prevent the spread of false narratives.

[@alexmatthews7706]

@@AndrewTa530 what does the president have to do with shootings in Baltimore? Wouldn’t that be more of the Mayors fault if anything?
