Rockwood fire department physical ability program: member candidate guide

This manual has been developed to outline the expectations of the Rockwood Fire Department and completing the Semi-Annual Incumbent or candidate for hire Physical Ability Program (PAP). The program consists of a series of tasks designed to assess important job-related physical abilities necessary for effective job performance as a member of the Rockwood Fire Department. These tasks were developed to mimic real-world situations that firefighters encounter on the job. These tasks represent basic skills that do not require training or previous experience as a professional firefighter to successfully complete.
