Ms. Camus explained that the testing process included a candidate orientation, assessor
preparation, written exam, work performance rating, tactical, and assessment center.
Assessment center exercises included communication and expectations, practical
scenarios/critical thinking, and employee coaching scenarios. The exam was completed

were selected based on a task analysis and survey of incumbents and fire department
leadership.
Five candidates passed all components of the exam and have been placed on the
register in accordance with their scores. Final ranking scores range from 81.01 - 92.00.
