FireTEAM Testing System for Firefighters
FireTEAM Performance Evaluation
The FireTEAM Performance Evaluation System ties directly into important job dimensions assessed in the FireTEAM entry level and promotional exams. Performance evaluations are available for the following ranks:
- Probationary Firefighter
- Firefighter
- Driver Engineer/Apparatus Operator
- Lieutenant
- Captain
- Battalion Chief
- Assistant Chief
- Deputy Chief

What makes the FireTEAM Performance Evaluation System unique is the detailed behavioral indicators developed for each dimension that tell employees what is expected of them, guide raters through the evaluation process and help raters make their overall rating for each dimension. The behavioral indicators also allow raters to give detailed feedback to employees on the impressions they are making in the organization and how they can improve. Both excellent and unacceptable behaviors are included in the behavioral indicators. To learn more about the FireTEAM Performance Evaluation System a performance evaluation product book can be provided upon request.
Following are just a few examples of the many performance dimensions that are included in our standard performance evaluations:
- Tactical Problem Solving, Adapting and Improvising
- Behavior in Difficult Situations
- Teamwork
- Drill Performance
- Persistence in Learning
- Relations with Supervisors and Management
- Living Congenially in a Station Environment

Testimonials
"Helena Fire Department has been using FireTEAM Testing for several years now. Prior to that we had used a variety of instruments and processes to try to determine, before we made a job offer, how well an individual would fit in our organization. We were not really satisfied with any of them. Then we happened upon FireTEAM Testing.
We have found the ratings in the various performance dimensions to be very helpful. With each candidate, we focus on those areas where the FireTEAM evaluation indicates there is possibly a reason for concern. We give the candidate an opportunity to respond to the dimension ratings and we ask follow-up questions. Using those ratings we are able to tailor our interview questions to elicit a more in-depth response from our new-hire candidates. We have found the ratings in the performance dimensions to be a very good indicator of individual tendencies. The FireTEAM test has allowed us to select some very highly ranked candidates who turned out to be valuable, productive employees. FireTEAM Testing results have proved to be a very good indicator for us when trying to determine organizational "fit"!"
