Answer:         In order to take the test, candidates must ensure they have or can do the following:

• Laptop or desktop computer (Windows, Mac, or Linux operating systems).

• Turn off any scheduled updates or scans for laptop or computer on the test day.

• Be sure internet service provider is working for the entire test with at least 20 Mbps upload/download speed. Check your speed here: https://fiber.google.com/speedtest/

Question:      Do I need a webcam to take the test?

Answer:         You do not need a webcam to take the online test. Candidates are expected to take the test without assistance and without the use of a calculator. Integrity is one of the most important characteristics of a firefighter and you are expected to demonstrate this critical trait during the testing period. Measures have been put into place to confirm that your online test score accurately depicts your skills in the areas measured by the test. If you are unable to demonstrate consistency between your online test results and those integrity measures that the department may elect to use (i.e., a confirmatory test, a polygraph, etc.), you will be removed from the recruitment process.
