6 Pre-Employment Physical Ability Test (P.A.T.) Orientation and Preparation Guide The Monroe County Fire Academy Physical Ability Test (P.A.T.) is based upon a comprehensive job task analysis; this has determined tasks that are deemed critical, ones performed frequently by firefighters. Part I, the On-Target Combat Task Test, was developed by Paul O. Davis, PhD and Charles Dotson, PhD of ARA/Human Factors, Inc. This validated job simulated test is used to objectively measure firefighter performance. The tasks are performed sequentially, and accurately reflect the metabolic demand imposed on a firefighter during actual emergency situations. ARA/Human Factors, Inc. have monitored heart rate responses and pulmonary requirements for these and other firefighter activities. Not all fires are the same, and it is not possible to anticipate every emergency scenario. However, firefighters who can complete the tasks listed below within the recommended time frame possess the level of fitness necessary to meet most emergency demands. From this information ten job-related physical test components were developed. The ten components are: 1. Stair Climb with Equipment, 2. Hose Hoist, 3. Forcible Entry, 4. Charged Line Advanced, 5. Victim Rescue, 6. Aerial Ladder Climb, 7. Extrication Equipment Carry and Operation 8. Confined Space Craw, 9. Drafting Appliance Carry and Operation, 10. Water Survival This Orientation and Preparation Guide is provided to each applicant to encourage you to prepare for the test. It is our hope that this guide has assisted you with the proper preparation needed to successfully complete this test, and we wish each applicant the best of luck on the test. Page 6 of 14
7 The Physical Ability Test is designed to simulate firefighter activities. The following outline will familiarize the applicant with scheduled components on the day of the test. Applicants will wear a weighted vest approximately twenty-five pounds (25 lb) that will simulate the weight of a Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA). The weighted vest will be worn for all of the components with the exception of the water survival component. Applicants are encouraged to wear athletic shoes, long sweat pants, and a tee-shirt. You will be performing various types of physical activities; therefore you should not wear clothing that will hinder your performance. Applicants can be expected to get wet and dirty during the performance of the skills listed. Monroe County Fire Academy will provide leather firefighter gloves and a hard hat at the test site; for each applicant to use while completing the test. You may bring your own kneepads for use during the test. However, Monroe County Fire Academy staff may inspect and disallow any equipment to ensure its use does not affect the fairness of the test. All five components listed in Part I will be timed in series. The test has a cutoff time of greater than seven minutes (7 min.) and failure to complete the test in the allotted time will result in disqualification. Running will not be allowed during any portion of the test. Applicants will receive a warning and any failure to heed will result in disqualification. During the test, an evaluator will be assigned to time each applicant. Applicants may ask the evaluator questions regarding the course layout prior to beginning and while on the course. However, evaluators are not permitted to provide applicants of their event time. The five (5) events that compose the timed portion of the Physical Ability Test are outlined on the following pages. Each event has a description and suggestions for preparation. Page 7 of 14
