- Ability to attend all required meetings,
training and emergency calls within accepted department
standards.
- Ability to complete all required training
within the probationary period.

check.
Once these requirements are met and a conditional
offer of membership is made, an applicant will also be required to
pass a department administered agility test. Upon successful
completion of the agility test and a physical exam, the applicant
will be accepted as a probationary firefighter. The probation period
is 6 months and upon successful completion, members of the
department will vote on the applicant. A majority vote will confirm
membership to the department.
