FireTEAM (NTN)

FIRETEAM TEST PREPARATION (CANADA)

FireTEAM is a video-driven exam built by ErgoMetrics and delivered through the National Testing Network. It behaves nothing like a paper test, which is exactly why candidates who only drill written questions struggle with it.

Department specifics: Calgary tests through NTN with a two-part exam (FireTEAM plus a second component). Fee $65 USD, virtually proctored. Applications typically open June 1-30 annually (per calgary.ca) — the narrow application window is the thing most candidates miss.

Prep priority

The video format itself is the thing to rehearse — mental math with no scratch paper and paused-video judgment calls are unlike a normal written test

Free sample questions

3 of our 146 questions tagged for the FireTEAM (NTN) are free to practise. These are our own practice questions written to the published format — they are not real exam items.

Sample 1

Excerpt: "Firefighters shall not return to active duty until heart rate is below 100 bpm and two consecutive readings 10 minutes apart show a stable or declining trend." A firefighter's heart rate reads 96 bpm, then 102 bpm ten minutes later. Can they return to duty?

A. No, the second reading is above 100 and the trend rose, not declined ✓
B. Yes, the requirement is satisfied because the first reading was below 100
C. Yes, because the average of the two readings sits close to 100
D. The excerpt sets a heart rate rule but does not cover return-to-duty timing

Both conditions must be met: the current reading must be below 100 bpm (102 is not) and the trend must be stable or declining (it rose from 96 to 102). Neither condition is satisfied.

Sample 2

Excerpt: "Ventilation operations shall be coordinated with, and shall not precede, the initiation of fire attack, except in cases of confirmed life-safety need." Crew arrives and begins ventilating the roof before the attack line is charged, with no confirmed occupants reported. Does this follow the excerpt?

A. No, ventilation is to be coordinated with, not run ahead of, fire attack ✓
B. Yes, ventilation should always be completed before fire attack begins
C. Yes, since no occupants had been confirmed inside the structure
D. The excerpt covers ventilation but does not address its sequencing

Without a confirmed life-safety need, the excerpt requires ventilation to be coordinated with fire attack rather than beginning before it — starting ventilation first does not follow this excerpt.

Sample 3

Excerpt: "Any incident lasting more than 60 minutes shall have a formal rehabilitation area established, and crews shall rotate through it before their second cylinder change." An incident has run 75 minutes and a crew is on its second cylinder change with no rehab area established. Does this follow the excerpt?

A. Yes, establishing a rehab area at all times remains discretionary
B. Yes, since the crew in question still has air remaining in their cylinders
C. No, both the 60-minute threshold and the rotation requirement have been missed ✓
D. The excerpt names a rehab requirement but sets no time threshold for it

At 75 minutes the 60-minute threshold requiring a formal rehab area has passed, and the crew has reached its second cylinder change without rotating through rehab — both requirements are unmet.
