The PAT is one of the major parts of the examination for the position of airport firefighter. Understanding this part of the examination and being prepared for it are critical factors for your success.In physical terms, firefighting is an extremely demanding occupation. It requires agility, strength, coordination, balance and stamina. The firefighting environment is normally hazardous and constantly changing. Firefighting calls for the wearing of special protective clothing and breathing equipment and the use of tools that are often heavy. Because of the extremes encountered in the firefighting environment - hot and cold, wet and dry, night and day, clean and contaminated air - the protective clothing and equipment must be durable and effective. The need for these qualities has led to the development of equipment that is often heavy and cumbersome.Given the demands of the occupation - saving life and property, the challenges of the environment and the weight and constraint of the protective equipment, the need to ensure that airport firefighter recruits are physically capable of learning and performing the tasks required is obvious.The PAT is designed to evaluate the candidate's ability to perform firefighting activities. Studies reveal that the airport firefighter must have a high level of aerobic energy, strength and a significant ability to resist fatigue.REMEMBER THAT 60-70% OF THE PHYSICAL ABILITY EVENTS REQUIRE EXCELLENT ARM, SHOULDER AND LEG STRENGTH, UPPER AND LOWER BODY STRENGTH, COORDINATION, BALANCE, STAMINA, AGILITY AND GOOD WIND ENDURANCE.Change of information. We recommend that you notify DHRD in writing immediately of any changes to your mailing address, email address, or other contact information, or by logging into your account via government jobs.com to update your personal information.
