Appendix "B"-Written Examination Description
The written examination was developed and content-validated by FIREHIRE® Inc.. The written examination will be administered to up to 400 prospective candidates at a time. The candidate(s) have 2 hours to complete the written portion of the examination process. The written exam is a combination of the following questions:

    Firefighting

    (referenced from the International Fire Service Training Associations Essentials Manual, 4th Ed.).
    Emergency Medical Services
    (referenced from Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick & Injured, 9th Ed.)

The candidate(s) will be required to sign a liability waiver stating that they have been advised of the reference materials, and what type of questions are in the examination. The written test will have four different versions distributed to reduce the possibility of dishonesty between candidates. Each test will be 130 questions long. There will be no ambiguity, and all questions will have only one answer to attempt to alleviate vagueness. It will be up to the individual candidates to obtain the referenced testing material for study purposes. This portion of the testing procedure is weighed at 100%.
