Various disciplines for fire chief candidates
All training content is part of the so-called aptitude assessment procedure for prospective fire chief candidates. In addition to a theoretical part, this recruitment test consists of different sporting disciplines, according to the fire brigade. These include 200-meter swimming, distance diving, push-ups, balance tests, speed, flexibility and strength exercises, as well as 400-meter and 3,000-meter runs.
