VIDEO: The Tulsa Fire Department (TFD) has updated their physical ability test for any candidate who wants to be a part of the department. It’s a test of physical and mental strength, and it must be passed before candidates can move on to the interview portion of the process. Up until January 2022, TFD did a candidate physical ability test of its own, but now the Oklahoma State Firefighter’s Pension Board requires every department in the state to align with these tests.
