ADJALA-TOSORONTIO FIRE DEPARTMENT

Official careers page

Recruitment watch

Paid On-Call/Volunteer Firefighters, 12 positions, for two stations (Everett and Loretto). OFAI's listing showed this recruitment closing 18 September 2026; we have not found an official extension, so confirm the current deadline with the Township before applying. Paid for training, calls and station duties - not a career job. The real gate is residency: you must live within 8 km of an ATFD station. NFPA 1001 I and II and NFPA 1072 holders may get a condensed probation and faster wage progression.

Physical requirements

Ontario Fire Administration Inc. — Candidate Testing Services

OFAI is an organisation, not a test. Wholly owned by the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs, it runs the Candidate Testing Services programme used by Ontario fire services. OFAI does not make municipal hiring decisions.

Gear: Stage Two is performed in full firefighting PPE plus SCBA weighing approximately 23 kg (51 lb). The SCBA is carried but not breathed from; a VO2 mask is worn.

Stage One — Aptitude, hearing and vision

Aptitude testing alongside hearing and vision screening. These are hard gates: candidates are eliminated here, before any physical testing.

Unconfirmed: The exact aptitude sections, question counts and time limits are not stated here — confirm the current format at ofai.ca.

Stage Two — Encapsulated Treadmill Test

A progressive, incremental treadmill protocol to exhaustion, performed in full PPE plus SCBA (approximately 23 kg / 51 lb). Not a shuttle run.

Unconfirmed: The specific speeds, inclines, phase durations and endpoint criteria are not published here — confirm at ofai.ca.

Stage Three — FPAT, FFTS and Swim Test

Firefighter Physical Aptitude Job-Related Tests (FPAT) plus Firefighter Technical Skills (FFTS), with a Swim Test where the fire service requires it.

Unconfirmed: The FPAT sub-events, their sequence and any time standards are not listed here because we cannot state them on the authority of ofai.ca. Confirm the current Stage Three format directly at ofai.ca.

Questions candidates ask

Does Adjala-Tosorontio Fire Department use CPAT?

No. Adjala-Tosorontio uses OFAI Stage One and Stage Three, not CPAT.

How far in advance should I start preparing?

Being test-ready and fitness-ready before a posting opens matters more than intense preparation after it opens.

Are the practice questions here real exam questions?

No. Every question is original training content written to reflect common recruitment task types. No legitimate provider has access to live exam material.
