Applications are now available on the City of Quincy web site for those interested in entry level Fire Department applications and testing.

Candidate Test Preparation Manuals are now available for loan at City Hall at 730 Maine Street in Quincy during regular hours of 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday at the receptionist desk.

A change this year is the requirement for Candidate Physical Ability Test (CPAT) card prior to the written test which is scheduled to be held on February 17, 2018.   Those testing on that day will be required to present that card for verification prior to testing. A list of locations where the CPAT is offered is included with the application.  Prices for the test vary along with test dates and times.

The deadline to submit applications for written testing is February 2, 2018.  The time for the written testing is 9 a.m. on February 17, 2018.  Women and minorities are encouraged to apply.
