- Metronome
- Stop watch
- Turn-Outs
- SCBA
3 Minute Step Test: The firefighter will step up and down on a 12 inch step with the metronome set at 96 bpm/4 count.

Simulated Ladder Raise: The firefighter will grasp the long handles in each hand, attached to the low cable with the weight set at 12.5 lbs. The firefighter will then raise their hands above their head proceeding to walk forward simulating raising a ladder by using alternating pressing movements. The evaluator will advise the firefighter to stop and walk backward using the same alternating pressing movement. This will be done four times.

Forcible Entry Simulation: Using a bar attached to the cable machine set at a height of approximately waist high with the weight set at 12.5 lbs. The firefighter will simulate hitting a door 10 times on the right side and then the left.
Proper Technique/Correct Body Mechanics:__________________ Pain/Fatigue:__________________
Crawling: The firefighter will crawl on their hands and knees, approximately 20 feet, which will incorporate a 90 degree turn and will include climbing over 2 sets of steps and then crawling back to the starting point.
Proper Technique/Correct Body Mechanics:__________________ Pain/Fatigue:__________________
Hose Advance: The firefighter will hold a nozzle attached to the cable approximately waist high with the weight set at 42.5 lbs. The firefighter will advance forward approximately 10 feet, stop then move to the right approximately 5 feet then to the left approximately 5 feet, then walk backward to the starting point. This will be done three times.

Ceiling Breech and Pull: Ceiling Breech – a metal bar will be attached to a low cable with the weight set at 22.5 lbs the firefighter will simulate breeching the ceiling using a pressing movement. Ceiling Pull – a metal bar will be attached to a high cable with the weight set at 42.5 lbs the firefighter will simulate pulling ceiling. The firefighter will grasp the handle attached to the low cable and simulate breeching the ceiling for 5 repetitions then move to the high cable to simulate pulling ceiling for 5 repetitions. The firefighter will alternate from ceiling breech and ceiling pull until they complete 2 sets of 5 reps for each movement. The firefighter will change hand positions for each set.
