Work Capacity Test (Pack Test)

All crew members have passed their Pack Test. The "pack test" is intentionally stressful and is a good indicator of aerobic capacity, muscular strength and muscular endurance. This is an annual test and all Wildland Firefighters must pass. The test requires the Firefighters to walk 3 miles with 45 lbs on their back in 45 minutes or less. Non-completion or going over the 45 minute time limit will disqualify you as a Wildland Firefighter.
