Requirements to be verifiedRecruitment watch
Volunteer firefighter applications close 18 September 2026. The hard gate is residency: you must live within the immediate area of the specific stations being recruited for, and this is verified. Other requirements: a valid Ontario Class G licence with zero demerit points on hire and the ability to obtain and maintain a DZ licence within 18 months of hire, prescribed hearing and vision standards, fluent spoken and written English under pressure, physical fitness for sustained heavy effort, and a satisfactory criminal record check including a vulnerable sector check. Firefighting, emergency medical or licensed trade experience counts as an asset. There is no published written aptitude exam for this stream.

Prep priority
Nothing in our question bank prepares you for a written test here, because none is advertised. Check the residency boundary for the stations being recruited before you spend any time on this - it is the single condition that eliminates most applicants

Not as far as the posting says. Kingston's volunteer stream names no standardised physical test such as CPAT, only fitness for sustained heavy effort plus hearing and vision standards. Confirm the fitness assessment format with the city.
Most successful candidates prepare for one to three years before a conditional offer. Being test-ready and fitness-ready before a posting opens matters more than intense preparation after it opens.
