Commission will require CPAT and lengthen written firefighter exam after low pass rate
Summary
After a recent firefighter written exam in which two of 15 candidates passed, the board asked testing vendor Cops and Fire to extend each section by three minutes and will require candidates to present a CPAT card rather than holding a village-run physical agility test.
The Board of Fire and Police Commissioners reviewed results from a recent firefighter written exam in which only two of 15 candidates passed and agreed to request changes from the testing vendor. The board decided to ask Cops and Fire to extend the time for each section of the written test by three minutes and to require that candidates possess a CPAT card instead of administering a village-run physical agility test on the Saturday test date.
The decision follows the exam results and aims to adjust the testing conditions for future candidate cohorts. The board said it will contact Cops and Fire to schedule a new written test date; no new date was recorded in the minutes.
