PEORIA FIRE DEPARTMENT
MISSION STATEMENT

The Peoria Fire Department is committed to protecting the lives and property of the citizens of Peoria. The Department strives to meet this commitment by providing comprehensive fire protection services, prevention services, fire suppression, and basic emergency medical/rescue services.

CANDIDATE PHYSICAL AGILITY TEST (CPAT)

CPAT is the term used to describe a pass-fail, physical ability test developed by the International Association of Firefighters and the International Association of Fire Chiefs. As a standardized test, it has become a method of assisting fire departments in recruiting those who are physically capable of performing the tasks associated with firefighting. It is a reliable measure of the candidate’s ability to carry out fire scene activities.

The CPAT is designed to assess a candidate’s capacity to perform the tasks ordinarily performed by a Firefighter while on the job. This is accomplished by requiring the candidate to perform a series of events that both simulate firefighting activities and depend on the physical abilities to perform the Firefighter’s job. These abilities include cardiovascular fitness, muscular endurance and flexibility.

The tasks include: Stair Climb, Hose Drag, Equipment Carry, Ladder Raise & Extension, Forcible Entry, Search, Rescue Drag, Ceiling Breach and Pull.

Illinois Public Act 007-0251 mandates that all new Firefighter candidates must also participate in a ladder climb exercise and demonstrate an ability to operate from heights. This exercise is not related to the CPAT test results in any way. A certificate of completion will be issued to those who successfully complete the exercise. Candidate success is measured on a pass/fail basis.

It is advised that you attend the CPAT Orientation Session and CPAT Practice Test Session. Attend the CPAT Final Test Session only if you didn’t pass the CPAT in the Practice Test Session.

The CPAT card must be valid within one year of the Written Examination.

CRITERIA FOR PASSING THE CANDIDATE PHYSICAL ABILITY TEST (CPAT)

Candidates must complete all events in or under the designated time. The cutoff time for passing the exam has been set at 10 minutes and 20 seconds. The stopwatches will be set to the pass/fail time of 10 minutes and 20 seconds and will count down to 0 seconds. If you run out of time prior to completing the test, the test will be concluded. You will not be told your time during the testing process.
Candidates must complete all events in the specified amount of time in the required sequence or they fail the examination.
Upon completion of the test, candidates will be informed of their pass/fail status.
You will be better prepared to pass the CPAT examination if you attend all sessions of the testing process.
