FIREFIGHTER PHYSICAL AGILITY TEST 2023 SLCFD

[@LordBrittish]

I just started looking into being a firefighter! -at 43 years old ☠️ ( too old in my area )

[@johnphelan657]

Love that training equipment! Wish we had that at our department

[@horsebattery9243]

I'm guessing it's just rented out for their testing days and then goes on to the next county for their test days ? Seems a lot of expensive stuff you can't use for anything except the tests to have to stow away between test days otherwise.

Wow they changed a lot from 1985 when did mine in NJ. You had to drag a weight 2 1/2 hose with weighted vest hook to a hydrant disconnected and drag it back then drag a 150 lb dummy carrier & raise extension ladder. The hardest part of the test was carrying the standpipe pack up & down the stairs I think 10 times. There are some more stuff I can’t remember it’s been so long ago, but you were rank by time.

I'm interested in becoming a firefighter has this replaced the CPAT test for the majority of fire departments?

[@DiamorphineDeath]

No. I think it depends where you are, west coast it's pretty much solely the cpat...and that's just a way to take additional money from you. Depends on the department and place, but you need a fire academy and most likely paramedic school before you'll ever have to worry about a cpat or similar test. It doesn't mean anything dude.

Every fire Ive been in, I was in full gear. Never fought a fire in shorts, tshirt and Nikes. Train like its real, wear the gear.

[@BurnDARoadUpinc]

This isn’t training lol before you criticize find out what this is for lol amateur hour 😂

[@Tkplay16]

​@BurnDARoadUpinc right there's always that one guy that knows it all 😅😅

[@seventenn610]

This isn’t training buddy. It’s for people trying to apply to be hired.

[@ruzannawilson3274]

I'm trying to become a Firefighter and prepare physically so i have higher chances to get hired. So where do i buy the FULL GEAR you're talking about. Amazon? :D

[@shawn1676]

Seems easier then cpat

[@streeterbuilds]

Damn, this makes the ACCFD test look like the Olympics.

[@hedley326]

Shorts and t shirt with rehab walks...... what the actual fuck?

[@BurnDARoadUpinc]

500 plus personnel department and its done for health insurance reason and not a training purpose . This is not use for training for fire scene practice. Department runs 65,000 calls a year break that down to 17 stations. This type for exercises is done for speed efficiency and so all personnel are able to complete it for insurance purposes within a 3-4 month window. Crew are taken out of service while this is going on and return to work right after. Also this is Florida and it's done in the summer. Equipment is paid for by grants and Union dues. Trust me if you think it's easy yours more than welcome to try and compete for times. They have guys running this in sub 4 mins 6 is average.

[@hedley326]

@@BurnDARoadUpinc as someone, who has worn fire gear for prolonged periods of time in 35-40 degree Celsius heat....... What you said makes sense.

[@phatboizbackyardkustomz9006]

Old school here, high noon full gear outside none of that new costly equipment you have everything on the truck you need to do a PAT. Everything has been domed down for the new generation.
