About Korean Firefighter Fitness Test Standards
The Korean firefighter fitness test consists of four events: push-ups (1 min), sit-ups (1 min), 50m sprint, and 1500m run. Each event is graded 1st through 3rd, and failing any event means overall disqualification.
For males, 1st grade requires 58+ push-ups, 58+ sit-ups, 50m in 7.0 sec, and 1500m in 5:40. Female standards are lower. Always check the latest official recruitment announcement before your test.
