Quick context to catch up fast.
The commission unanimously expired the current entry-level firefighter eligibility list early because too few viable candidates remained and authorized a new testing round. Remaining candidates will be contacted about carrying their scores to the new list; the commission also approved a one-time indoor agility-test modification and removed physical agility testing for lateral-transfer firefighters.

Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The changes are intended to help fill firefighter vacancies by restarting entry-level testing before the current list expires in March 2026. Entry-level applicants must meet minimum scores on the computerized test, pass a physical agility test and achieve at least 50% on the Public Safety Self Assessment. Lateral-transfer applicants will instead be evaluated through credentials and interviews and must pass a medical physical if offered employment.
