Selected candidates will be scheduled for a complete Firefighter pre-employment medical examination.

Before the pre-employment medical examination, candidates will be asked to complete a comprehensive medical history. Candidates must provide complete and accurate information in the questionnaire and during the medical examination with the clinic physician.

Any misrepresentation may be cause for disqualification from consideration as a Firefighter candidate.

This medical exam includes a comprehensive medical history, blood & urine samples, body fat composition, hearing/vision testing, treadmill, physical condition assessment, and other related medical tests. This exam will take approximately six hours.

All candidates must successfully pass the medical examination in order to be eligible for consideration for employment. Please note that Fire Department staff are unable to answer questions regarding whether a candidate's specific medical history could result in a medical exam failure.

The Fire Department will always refer more candidates for the Pre-Employment Medical Examination than there are anticipated vacancies. Participation in the Medical Exam is not an assurance of being hired as a Firefighter Recruit.
