It consists of 50 yard dash, scaling a ladder (for time), carry a heavy pack for a 100 yards, and all of this in a firefighting equipment….There is also a test using the fire axe to break thorough a door (also timed). The total score is used to screen applicants (100 point scale).  The cut off score is 70.
