The FPAT is a job simulation physical ability test, designed by IOS in partnership with Firesled Fitness, for assessing essential physical abilities of firefighter applicants and incumbent firefighters. The FPAT consists of a series of tasks designed to assess important physical abilities necessary for effective job performance as a firefighter. These tasks were developed to mirror real situations that firefighters encounter on the job. These tasks represent basic skills that do not require training or previous experience as a firefighter to successfully complete.
