Tasks 1 through 7 are considered continuous. Candidates shall not be allowed to rest at or between events for more than 90 seconds. 

The following tasks are considered essential to the position of firefighter: 

TASK 1 

2000 Meter Row &ndash; While wearing only the workout clothes (no helmet, weighted vest, or Gloves), the candidate shall row 2000 meters on the department supplied row machine within 10 minutes.
 
Once the candidate finishes the 2000-meter row, they have no more than 90 seconds to don the helmet, gloves, and weighted vest and to begin Task 2.

Once the box is loaded, the candidate shall stand in the four-foot by four-foot (4&rsquo;x4&rsquo;) designated area, grab the rope and pull the weighted box hand over hand fifty (50&rsquo;) feet. If the candidate loaded only one section, he/ she must remove the sections of three (3) inch hose and repeat the process for the second section of three (3) inch hose. When both sections of three (3) inch hose cross the designated fifty (50) foot line the task is complete.

This task simulates carrying hose during high rise operations. 


TASK 5 

Forcible Entry Sled &ndash; The candidate shall drive the beam down the sled while standing on the sled rails with a ten and one half (10.5) pound dead blow hammer until the back edge of the beam has passed over the end of the sled which completes the task.
