The Westminster Fire Department will be opening the application process for entry level firefighters on August 5, 2024, with an anticipated start date of January 6, 2025. If you are interested in joining our team, we invite you to participate in our fitness and physical test preparation program!
Being a firefighter demands exceptional strength and endurance. To help our prospective candidates succeed, we have developed a comprehensive program tailored to prepare you for our Job Specific Performance Assessment (JSPA), a mandatory step before hiring. This program will help equip you with the necessary skills to prepare for the rigorous physical challenges you will face at the fire academy. This program is not a required step of the hiring process and is only intended to guide you towards success regarding the physical demands of the fire academy and the job itself.
Sessions will be held on Wednesdays and Saturdays (see dates, below). Wednesday sessions will be general fitness preparation with Saturdays being JSPA practice sessions. Participants are encouraged to attend as many sessions as possible.
You must register for this fitness program. Registrations must be received by Wednesday, July 24th. CLICK HERE to register and for additional details regarding location.
You may find additional information about the JSPA here, under the 'Preparing for Fitness Testing' page of our website.
