LADDER CLIMB EXERCISE

&nbsp;

The
State of Illinois enacted Public Act 097-0251 in August 2011 which mandates new
firefighter candidate physical ability test requirements. Candidates are now
required to participate in a ladder climb exercise and demonstrate an ability
to operate from heights.

&nbsp;

Beginning
January 2012 SUFD will offer a Ladder Climb Exercise which fulfills the new
State law. Candidates participating in the SUFD CPAT (beginning January 2012)
will not be charged an additional fee to challenge the Ladder Climb Exercise.
The CPAT and Ladder Climb Exercise will be conducted during the candidateâs
scheduled CPAT test.&nbsp; Upon successful
completion of the ladder climb exercise candidates will be sent a certificate
of completion. The Ladder Climb Exercise is not related to the CPAT and will
not have any impact in any way on a candidateâs CPAT test result.

&nbsp;

Candidates
who participate in the SUFD Ladder Climb Exercise will climb to the top of an
extended ground ladder that is in a fixed, inclined position. Once reaching the
top the candidate will be required to descend the ladder to ground level. All
candidates will be given instructions before starting the ladder climb
exercise.

&nbsp;

Candidates who wish
to challenge only the Ladder Climb Exercise may do so by requesting
an appointment at CPAT@sufd.org.
The fee for the Ladder Climb Exercise is $25.00 and payment is required at time
of the exercise.
