In order to be awarded Veterans’ Preference, the appropriate documentation must be submitted and approved by the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs no later than 8 days prior to the issuance of an Eligibility List.

Except for a few makeup candidates to be tested, the Physical Performance Testing has now been completed. Physical performance test make-ups will continue to take place as needed. Make-up candidates will need to provide medical authorization in order to take the test as the Department does not assume responsibility for accident or injury to candidates during the examination process.

Candidates who accept an appointment to a Firefighter title in one jurisdiction will have their name removed from any other Firefighter list(s).

Volunteer Firefighters who pass all parts of the test may get up to 10 points service credit. Volunteers with two years of continuous service will get three service credit points. Another point will be added for each additional full year of continuous service, up to the maximum of 10 points.

Eligible Lists

Candidates who pass the examination are placed on eligible lists based on test scores, volunteer points, residency, and location preference. The eligible pool lasts for at least two years.
