The interview process was quite difficult as it should be for this profession. It started with an application process which led to an initial interview. After that, if all went well, you joined several other applicants to take a written exam. Afterwards there was a physical test called a CPAT insuring that you are physically fit for the position. Finally, again if you haven't been told that you have not been selected, you would be invited to a final interview with the Fire Chief. At this point the applicants have been continuously cut until the remaining selection that was initially communicated was met.
