The
candidate physical ability test (CPAT) was developed
to allow fire departments to obtain pools of trainable
candidates who are physically able to perform essential
job tasks at fire scenes.
Attached is the Orientation
Guide for the CPAT. This guide describes the test
and how it will be administered. The guide is being
distributed so you may begin preparation as soon
as possible. A Preparation

which guides the user on exercises to assist with
preparation for the CPAT.
