.ABSTRACT 
This report describes a comprehensive task based job analysis of the entry level firefighter position in the D. C. Fire Department. The purpose of the study was to de-:velop the job analysis base for a ne'\<7 selection examination and the criteria to be used in a criterion-related validity study, if technically feasible. In conducting this study, the author reviewed the major job analysis studies for firefighter selection, observed the job, interviewed firefighters and their supervisors, developed a comprehensive dutytask inventory questionnaire, and administered it to all uniformed firefighters in the 
D.C. Fire Department belo"Y' the rank of Battalion Chief. All phases of the study involved extensive participation and review by firefighters nnd the final approval of a supervisory coordinating committee composed of key personnel in the D. C. Fire Department. For the purposes cf this study, only the questionnaire responses of the entry-level firefighters and a small select group of supervisors, who completed the inventory for the entry level job, were analyzed and detailed in this report. The job data were analyzed according to standard procedures to meet the requirements of all professional standards. This report is one of many reports being prepared on tl:e D. c. Fire Department's selection procedures.

This report describes the job analysis phase of a project to develop a new entry level examination for appointment into the District of Columbia Fire Department (DCFD). Resources for the project are jointly pro
vided by the DCFD and the U.S. Civil Service Commission (CSC). This report of the job 
analysis specifically includes the selection of job analysis methodologies, the development of a task inventory, and the analysis and interpretation of the job data. 
Simultaneous '"ith the conduct of the DCFD-CSC project, Personnel Decisions, Incorporated (PDI) will be developing a nation
wide selection test for firefighters. This separate project is funded by a esc grant, and although it was designed to focus on the noncognitive and nonphysical aspects of firefighting, there will be times when the DCFD
CSC project can benefit from the PDI re
search. 
Assignment of Personnel 
Throughout this phase and throughout the project, the research staff of the esc adhered closely to the American Psychological Association (APA) Standards for Educational and Psychological Tests (1974) and is in compliance with the Federal Executive Agency Guidelines ~Employee Selection Procedures (1976). The developmental process used in this job analysis was designed to provide the basis for a valid and job related examination for the job of entry level firefighter. If a criterion related validity study is technically feasible, the data gathered during the job analysis will additionally provide a basis for criterion development. 
Project Overview 
The joint DCFD-CSC entrance examination project was initiated early in 1975. The project has several objectives: 
1. 
A complete analysis of the entry level firefighter job in order to identify the tasks and duties performed and, subsequently, to determine what knowledges, skills, abilities, or other characteristics (KSAOs) are needed to perform those tasks and duties. 

2. 
The development of a new examination, if needed, to measure the KSAOs required to perform the entry level firefighter job. The new examination would be constructed according to a content or con


struct model and would be designed in com
pliance with the Federal Executive Agency 
Guidelines and the APA Standards. 

3. 
The analysis of the job related
ness and validity of Test 21, the current 
entrance examination. 


4. 
A followup criterion-related 
validity study of the new examination, if 
technically feasible and necessary. 



For the DCFD, a Supervisory Committee was appointed to work with the esc team in planning, coordinating and overseeing the entire project. Consequently, the Committee was composed of senior level officers and officials in the DCFD who were knowledgeable about the entry level job and who were representative of the ethnic backgrounds of DCFD firefighters. 
The initial membership of the Supervisory Committee consisted of: 
1. 
John P. Devine-Deputy Fire Chief of the Training School 

2. 
William Stickley-Deputy Fire Chief of the Fire Fighting Division 

3. 
Calvin Watson-Battalion Fire Chief of the Fi~e Fighting Division 

4. 
Theodore R. Coleman-Captain of the Fire Fighting Division 

5. 
Edward Eberhard-Administrator of the DCFD (civilian) 

6. 
James Williams-Director of Personnel (civilian) 


On September 14, 1976, Deputy Fire Chief (DFC) Scott L. Seymour replaced DFC Devine as Chief of the Training School and as Chairman of the Supervisory Committee. BFC Watson, who was promoted to Deputy Fire Chief, filled the seat vacated by DFC Stickley upon his retirement. DFC Watson's seat was not filled, although BFC Joseph Granados regularly attended subsequent meet
ings of the Supervisory Committee. 
Minorities were represented; three of 
the six Committee members were Black.

METHOD 
Selection of the Job Analysis Me~hodologies 
Based on the review of the literature, it was decided that the job analysis for the DCFD-CSC project should be a multimethod approach, maximally involving job experts and capable of delineating the tasks performed by entry level firefighters. A variety of job analysis methodologies were considered for inclusion in the study. 
Among these were: (a) direct ~bservation, 
(b) 
i.nterviews, (c) the job element method, 

(d) 
Functional Job Analysis, (e) the Posi
tion Analysis Questionnaire (PAQ), and 


(f) 
the task inventory. 


In considering a job analysis method
ology for this project a vumber of criteria were applied. The method had to be in conformance with professional and legal standards. It had to possess the technical 
qualities of reliability and validity. It had to provide the information suitable for test development. And it had to be technically and practically feasible. Based en these criteria and the technical literature, it "~>•as decided that the task inventory 
approach would be most suitable for this particular project and would be in corepliance with guidelines for job relatedness. Both tbe PAQ and the job element approaches describe a job in terms of the knowledges, skills, abilities, or other characteristics that a worker needs to possess in order to 
perform the job. Although the Functional 
Job Analysis approach is highly standardized, it is more applicable to occupational classification and was not expected to significantly complement the task inventory approach. 
Interviews and direct observation are integral aspects of the task inventory approach used in this study, both in its development and in its analysis and interpretation. Because of this integral relationship, these methods most naturally combined with the task inventory. A major difficulty with combining most job analysis data is the problem of how to combine the diverse information made available. 
· Consequently, the multimethod approach in this study restricted itself to the 
methods that could most readily be combined without distorting the overall description 
of the job. 
An ancillary objective of the job analysis was to compare the DCFD with other jurisdictions, using relatively comparable 
procedures and job analysis instruments. 
They were: (a) the worker analysis 
approach, a version of the job element 
method, (b) the PAQ, and (c) the task in
ventory developed by PDI. Results from 
these alternate methodologies are reported 
in separate reports and were not directly 
combined with the task inventory data in 
evolving the specifications for the new 
examination. 
All major decisions regarding the job analysis methodologies were discussed with the Supervisory Committee and received their approval. 
Preliminary Observations and Interviews 
In order to obtain a general overview 
of the job to be analyzed and to determine 
how it interacts with other jobs to achieve 
the organizational objectives, the esc re
search team conducted some preliminary 
interviews. 

These interviews directly paralleled 
those performed by PDI in the nationwide 
study. Thus not only would this informa
tion be useful in developing a task inven
tory, but it would also allow a comparison 
of the DCFD with jurisdictions in PDI's 
nationwide sample. 

The CSC research team conducted several 
interviews and site visits with DCFD offi
cials, officers, and entry level personnel. 
The first visit involved a tour of the DCFD 
Training School and discussions with the 
Deputy Fire Chief of the Training School and 
the Chief of Training. Discussions empha
sized entry level firefighters, their formal 
training program, on-the-job training, per
formance evaluation, and DCFD functions and 
structure. Also included was a training 
film depicting firefighting work. 
A second visit was a meeting with the 
Assistant Fire Chief of Operations and the 
civilian Administrative Officer at the Head
quarters. This meeting served the dual pur
pose of obtaining additional information 
about the DCFD and of formally introducing 
the DCFD management to some of the specifics 
of the project. 
3 
The third visit involved direct observation of firefighters at work in a firehouse. The particular station chosen housed all four types of units (engine, truck, rescue sq.uad, and ambulance) in the DCFD and was expected to provide a relatively high probability of an alarm. The Captain and members of each of the units were interviewed by the research team and observed in their daily activities of drills, maintenance, watch duty, response to alarms, and shift change. Part of this visit involved a discussion and review of a preliminary task list being developed byPDI in their nationwide analysis of firefighter work. Included in these discussions were: two entry level firefighters, one from an engine company and one from a truck company; a sergeant; and a lieutenant. Officers were included in all discussions of entry level work because their perceptions can significantly contribute to a comprehensive analysis of the job. 
Although the research team ~vas unable to observe a major working fire, some members "'ere able to respc·nd with the different units to rr.iLor alarms. To compensate for the lack of direct observation of a working fire, the research team was on hand during several training exercises and demonstrations. In the absence of a working fire, these simulations provided valuable insights into firefighting.

PDI's format. 
Development of the DCFD Task Inventory 
As mentioned earlier, the primary purpose of the DCFD Task Inventory was to I>rovide a precise descd.ption of the Hork performed by entry level firefighters in the DCFD. The description had to be suitable for the identification of the abilities needed to perform the \-Tork and had to be amenable to crited.on development should a 
criterion-related validity study be conducted. 
The target position for the examination was the entry level job. Based on technical guidelines, preliminary investigations and 
discussions and concurrence of the Supervisorv Committee, the entry level job was 
defined as all the work performed dur:lng a firefighter's first one and one-half throughsix years in the DCFD. 
Because relatively little additional effort would be required to extend th•e applicability of the Inventory through the rank of captain, officer tasks were included in the Inventory. Increasing the number of tasks in this way has the secondary advantage of requiring greater selectivity from the respondents in choosing and describing their specific job tasks. The additional information about non-entry level work can provide useful supplementary information about career progression of work in the DCFD 
or about potential training and class:lfica
tion needs. 
Since entry level firefighters have had 
relatively little exposure to the functioning of the DCFD as a whole, it was determined that a supervisory perception of the entry level job be included in the analysis to supplement the entry level firefighters' perception of their O'l.>n job. Consequemtly, supervisory perceptions of the entry level job are inclu.ded throughout this job c:;nalysis. 
Several different types of inventories were reviewed and considered for this jobanalysis. Some inventories, designed to be meaningful primarily to the job analysts, 
con.sist of long and detailed statements specifying "what is done," ''why it is done," 
"how it is done," and "for whom it is done." The reading time for such inventories can be prohibitive a.nd would be unnecessa.ry if the raters are already familiar with "why" or "how" someth:f.ng is done. Thus a simple statement of what is done should suffice, particularly if job experts assist in the interpretation of the ratings. Experts will 
be able to tell, for instance, i.f a statement tdth high variance is the result of ambiguity in the statement or a result of variance in the frequency '"ith which a task is performed. 
To further enhance meaning, task statements are frequently grouped into meaningful 
clusters. This helps to provide a context in which tasks can be interpreted. For example, consider "Carry or drag hose lines." Does the meaning of this task include "Hoisting hose lines?" If an adjacent task 
states, "Hoist hose lines," this ambigufty quickly disappears, although not without some risk of halo effects distorting task ratings merely on the basis of their posi
tion relative to other tasks. 
4 
Another consideration in the type of 
inventory to be used is the rranner in which the job is sampled. Some questionnaires, such as the PDI Checklist or the PAQ are admin'istered to about five job experts who 
rate'each item for all workers performing the job'. This approach is based on the assdnpticn that the individual rater knows and is capable of determining an item's relevance in terms of all members performing it. To circumvent this difficulty, it was de.cided that the DCFD Inventory should be administered to everyone and that every-one should rate it only for what they know best, their Owll job. An exception to this procedure ~,,as necessary in the case of the 
few Eupervisors who would be directed to 
complete the Inventory for the entry level 
job. 

Finally, the Inventory was designed to include several peripheral sections. First, a background information section \vas developed to allm,, the identificaticn and precise description of the final sample of raters. Background information also allows a comparison of responses by subgroups of raters. 
A second peripheral section, following the task statements, provides space for writing in additional tasks. The number and kind of tasks derived from this section can serve as an indicator of the completeness of the task list and provides a good source of statements that might be added to a future i&ventory. 
A third peripheral section asks the rater to respond to task clusters or duties as a whole, rather than task by task. This section was included for some separate research that the esc is doing, the results of which will be reported in a separate research paper not related to this project. 
The fourth special section is a feedback page on which respondents are asked about the inventory they have completed and are allowed an opportunity to express their general suggestions and comments for improving the inventory. 
All these sections are shown in the completed DCFD Task Inventory contained in Appendix D. 
Development of a preliminary task list. The most direct source of task statements 
are existing inventories for firefighters. These staterr..ents have the important advantage for already having passed some reviews by firefighters and job analysts and provide 
valuable information for structuring a new inventory and fer identifying the domain of the job. 
The first task list reviewed consisted of tasks documented in A Study of the Fireman's Occupati~ (Allen, Bodner, Lane, and Meyer, 1973). This study was part of a cooperative 
project of the California State Department of Education and the Division of Vocational Education at the University of California to 
study the status of training requirements at each rank of the fire service. Although the report fails to document the source of 
the 448 tasks and over 50 duty clusters, the 
report nevertheless provides a vast amount 
of i.nformation and is a rich source cf task 
statements. 
A second study, The Validation of Entry-Level Fi.refighter Examinations in the States of California and Nevada (1973), conducted by the Selection Consulting Center (SCC) of the California State Personnel Board contains 71 task statements. Since most of these statements ltlere derived from the Allen et al. study, they did not contribute significantly to the preliminary task list. 
Third and fourth sources of tasks were 
the lists of 269 statements developed by the 
American Institutes for Research (AIR) for 
the New York City Fire Department and the 
list of 204 tasks developed in the PDI 
study. Both of these latter studies con
tributed significantly to the preliminary 
pool of task items. 

Supplementing the review of firefighter 
task inventories was a survey of written 
materials about firefighting in general and 
about the DCFD in particular. Included in 
these materials were: (a) position descrip
tions, (b) classification and qualification 
standards (e.g., Recommended Standards for 
Fire Fighters (1970), publ:i.shed by the Inter
national Association of Fire Fighters,and the

ards of the Fire Fighte~ (1975) published "by the International Associatj_on of Fire Chiefs), (c) the large volume of training manuals and operations orders of the DCFD, and (d) research reports of firefighter research throughout the country. 
Once all the task, duty and related 
statements were ccllected, it was necessary 
to begin the process of shaping the Inventory 
into a final form. Preliminary modifica

Review of the PreliminaEY-1ask Inventory 
Once the rough ~orm of the inventory was determined by the job analyst, other reembers of the esc research team reviewed the inventory. Task statements were modified and rearranged to enhance their clarity, paying particular attention to possible oversights of certain aspects of firefighting. 
A second review was performed by a panel of 17 firefighters. The panel included all the personnel of an engine company, a truck company, and a rescue squad. It consisted of 12 entry leve.l firefighters, 2 lieutenants, 1 sergeant, and 2 captains. One captain was from the Fire Prevention Division. 
The panel was introduced to the project and asked to review the task inventory. This was accomplished by randomly dividing the panel into three groups and requesting each group to review and complete one of three proposed rating scales. This way the tasks received review while time estimates were obtained for completing each of the scales. The panel received a set of written instructi<ms, shown in Appendix E, to guide their review. These include instructions: 
(a) to make sure that the terminology used was clear and consistent with that used in the DCFD, (b) to add tasks that may have been overlooked, (c) to regroup or reorder tasks as needed, and so on. 
When all individuals in a group had 
completed their review, they met as a group 
to discuss and consolidate their comments 
on a master copy. This was followed by a 
general discussion by all three groups. 
These comm~nts and the specific comments 
froo the three master copies were incorpo
rated into the task inventory. The job 
analyst subsequently returned to the fire
house where most panel members worked and 
obtained additional clariHcation and re
solution of any comments or suggestion& 
that seemed contradictory or were unclear. 

Based on these revie,..rs by the firefighters and pilot testing of the three rating scales, it was determined that each rater could be asked to rate the tasks they performed on all three scales. The antici
pated time to complete the ratings en all three scales was about three hours, depending en the number of tasks performed by the rater completing the particular inventory. 
A final review "'as performed by the Supervisory Committee and the CSC test specialists to discuss each part of the inventory in turn. A number of tasks were rewritten or reordered, and duty labels were rr:odified to more accurately reflect the tasks they included. It "'ras also decided at this time that tasks which are not required aepects of the firefighter job, such as, "Cooking," would not be included in the Inventory. 
Although there were numerous editorial and organizational changes, the substantive aspects of the preliminary list of tasks remained intact. This "'las expected, since the sources of most task statements were inventories developed by other fi.refighting jurisdictions. Particularly significant was the paucity of tasks added to the preliminary list, indicating that the preliminary list had been relatively comprehensive and complete. Appendix F shows some of the nore major changes and additions made during the various reviews. 
Administration of the DCFD Task Inventory 
The design of the job analysis was to administer the Inventory (Appendix D) to the entire entry level population, if feasible. It soon became apparent that this would not be practical. First, up to about 14 percent of the uniformed firefighters can be on "paddle day" (an extra day off) on any given day. Other leave results in another 12 percent attr!tion. Except for extensive followups, it would have been impractical to obtain data on the enti.re population. Second, ambulance personnel are generally not available for long enough periods of time to complete a three hour inventory; consequently their participation had to be on a time-available basis. Attrition due to a failure to obtain data from ambulance personnel could further diminish the entry level population by about 15 percent. 
Neither the attritions due to leave nor the non-inclusion of most ambulance ratings were considered detrimental to the representativeness of the sample, The former are essentially random, while the turnover in ambulance units assures that ambulance work would be adequately represented by former ambulance personnel who" only re
cently returned to non-ambulance duties.
7 
The sample of supervisors completing 
the Inventory was also selected to be repre
sentative. It consisted of six officers: 
two sergeants, two lieutenants, anc two 
captains. Three were assigned to engine 
companies, two to trucks, and one reported 
varied assignments. Two of the officers 
were Black. The inventories were individ
ually administered and explained to the 
officers, making sure that they understood 
that they were to rate the tasks for the 
entry level job (one and one-half through 
six years). It was emphasized that all as
pects of entry level work must be consid
ered, i.e., engine or truck company, res
cue squad, amtulance, aide or technician. 
For the entire uniformed population through the rank of captain, the administration was conducted by 19 members of the Test Services staff. The staff were carefully briefed on the project before they were individually assigned to about two firehouses on each of the three shifts. Each ad~inistrator was provided with the detailed printed Directions for Conducting the DCFD Firefighter Task Inventory, shown in Appendix G. 1be dates February 3 and 4, 1976 were selected for the administration of the Inventory because two shifts, the day and the night shift of two platoons would be available the first day, while the third platoon would complete the Inventory on the second day, their first day back to work follm·1ing three days off. 
Although the Inventory was designed to be self-administering, the presence of the test speci~list allowed for explanation of difficult aspects of the instructions and 
i
providec raters an opportunity to ask questions. 1 
A vocal announcement, shown in Appen-· 
dix H, by the Fire Chief served to solicit the cooperation c·f the firefighters who would be doing the ratings. 
The administrators did not remain at each firehouse for the entire time that wasl required to complete the Inventory. Usu-'I ally, after about one hour it was apparent 
1 
that the raters knew what was required and · 
that there wculd be no more questions. Sealable envelopes, addressed to the CSC, were left at each firehouse so that the completed inve:ntories for each person could be confidentially forwarded to the esc research team for analysis. 
In order to counteract possible order effects, the three different rating scales were counterbalanced and administered in six different orders: CTD, CDT, TCD ,. TDC, DCT, and DTC, where C, T and D represent the Criticality, Time Spent, and Difficulty scales respectively. The instructions in the Task Inventory booklets were assembled . in the six orders of the scales to re!duce. possible confusi.on. 
Following a brief introduction, and 
completion of the background questions, the 
raters were instructed in the 7-point scale 
and directed to place a check mark in the 
appropriate column next to each task they 
had performed during their last twelve 
months in the DCFD. Once this was accom
plished, the raters were instructed to go 
through the Inventory three more times, 
each time rating the performed tasks on one 
of the three scales. The remaining peri
pheral sections of the Inventory were com
pleted at various times as directed. The 
average time to complete the Inventory was 
about three hours, and all ratings were re
corded directly on the task booklets. 
Since only about half of the officers returned the Inventory, a mailout followup was conducted. ~1ost of these officers were on leave or otherwise unable to compl,ete the Inventory ~.,rhen it was originally administer
ed. A special cover letter, shown in Appendix I, was designed to direct the off:icer rater to the parts of the instructions that were rr.ost critical or unclear. When the officer completed the Inventory, it was forwarded to the CSC research team. After the mailout, nearly all officers had completed 
the Inventory. 
w'hen all the Inventories wete returned, there ~.,rere 880 booklets in which fire·fighters described the work they had performed in the last 12 months. One hundred 
and seventy-five of the returned Inventories belonged to entry level firefighters.

·However, data from two non-entry· level firefighters were foundin the analyses. They were not deleted, however,. because the time '_iri the DCFD for the two raters was less than ~even months outside the defined experience range for the entry level job, and because their deletion from a sample of 165 would not have significantly changed the job analysis 'results. 
The final sample analyzed consisted of 165 raters or 54.6 percent of the entry level-population, For some calculations the n's are slightly lower, since not all raters completed all items. 
Representatj_veness of the Entry Level Data 
Although nearly ali firefighters working on the 3rd and 4th of February, 1976 completed and returned the Inventory, this was only 54.6 percent of the er:try level firefighters in the DCFD. Since jt can be demonstrated that nearly all of the attri-· tion can be attributed to random factors, the representativeness of the sample is maintaineci. 
First, paddle days or extra days off are assigned on a random basis and can account for t:p to 14 percent attrition. Second, DCFD sick leave records for February 3 ar:d 4, 1976 show that 89 u:embers or about 7 percent of the entire uniformed force was on sick leave. Assuming that this percent-· age applies to the entry level firefighter, this can account for another 7 percent attrition of the entry level population. All these estimates must be infe:rred from the entire DCFD population since the personnel records are not maintained according to the definition of this study's entry level firefighter. Third, 61 members or 5 percent were.or.. other leave, including 4 who were on suspension. 
A fourth major reduction in the data base t.'as the 'missing d2.ta from ambulance personnel. Depending on which roster is being'used, out of a possible 46 to 54 entry level members, only five completed the Inventory. That is about ten percent of the entry level ambulance personnel. Although it ·would appear that ambulance work is underrepresented, a survey of one roster shows that 35, or 75 percent, of the entry ··lev~l ambulance staff had less than six months of ambulance experience. This strongly suggests that at least that many entry level firefighters with ambulance experience during the last 12 months completed the Inventory as non-a~hulance firefighters. Possible underrepresentation of Bmbulance work is further corrected when the supervisory perception of the entty level job is considered. Unlike the entry level raters, the supervisors rated the entire job classification and not individual positions. Such a wholistic approach is more likely to include important aspects of the job that might be missed when positions concerned with those specific aspects are not always adequately represented. 
Considering the turnaround time for ambulance technicians and their relatively random assignments to ambulance duty, there v7as no reason to suspect that this loss of data significantly biased the job analysis results. 
To empirically verify the representativeness of the final sample, the sample was compared with the population on two variables: type of assignment and radal background. Since assignment of personnel to the types of units is approximately stratified by rank, the number of individuals of each rank in each unit should reflect their proportion in the Department. Since the 1255 personnel in the Fire Fighting Division are distributed among the unit types in the order of 660 in engine companies, 393 in truck companies, 63 in rescue squads, 100 in "the ambulance, and 19 on the fireboat, it would be expected that the 165 (.13) entry level firefighters would distribute among the types of units in the pattern of 89.4, 51.7, 8.3, 13.2, and 2.5. The obtain pattern of 109, 48, 2, 5, and 1 for the sample did not differ statistically from the population, x2(4)=3.11, £>.05, as shown in

Projected from DCFD population to sample of 165 entry level firefighters. 
To verify that an adequate and representative number of ffiinorities were included in the sample, it was necessary to determine the name of the rater associated with each inventory. In most cases the name was provided; but since the name was an optional item, about 8 percent or 23 of the entry level inventories were \vi thout names. In these cases the rater's identity had to be inferred from personnel rosters and the,biographical data supplied in the Inventory. The identity of four raters could not reasonably be inferred, reducing the sample~ to 161 for these calculations. It was found that 29.5 percent or 89 of the entry level firefighters were Black and that 32.9 percent or 53 of the 161 raters in the sample were Black. This represents 59.6 percent of the entry level Blacks. A chi-square test shows that this higher rate of selection for Blacks can be expected by chance,12(1)=.38, ~> .05. This result is not significant and supports the 
racial representativeness of the entry level sample, as shown in Table 2. 
Thus, the final sample of ratings, including the input from six supervisors, is considered representative of the work performed by entry level firefighters and is not biased by racial background or unit assignment. 
Adequacy of the Task Inventory 
Before the task data themselves are analyzed and interpreted, it is important to examine the technical characteristics of the Inventory itself. Information about the adequacy and functioning of the Inventory must be considered in any interpretation of the job analysis results .. 
Clarity of instructions. Direct evidence for the clarity of the instructions comes from two sources: (a) the Task

Inventory administrators and (b) the re
sponses of raters to a question about the 
instructions at the end of the Inventory. 
Following the administration of the 
Task Inventory, the PRDC staff who assisted in the project were informally interviewed about their experiences. Most acknowledged that the instructions were not easy, but that any difficulties the raters might have had were surmounted in the question and answer period. The particular reactions seemed to be a function of the different administrators as well as the different firehouses. Overall, the raters seemed to understand their task and appeared cooperative and conscientious in completing the inventories. 
Responses of the raters themselves to questions on the Comments and Suggestions page at the end of the Inventory confirm the observations of the administrators. Except for some difficulties with specific aspects of the Inventory, the majority of raters reported that the instructions were clear. An examination of inventories completed by raters who reported that the instructions were unclear reve·aled no serious difficulties. Apparently, they 
were able to resolve their difficulties and complete the inventories accurately. 
Completeness of the task list. Of all 880 raters completing the Inventory, only 38 provided suggestions for additional task statements. Others provided only some general comments about the Inventory or the DCFD rather than viable task statements. Most task suggestions did not add to the Inventory, since the activities were already represented in the Inventory. For example, suggested tasks, such as "Firefighting," "Saving lives," "Spring cleaning," or "Bringing equipment up fire escapes," were already included in terms of more specific tasks in the Inventory. Several other suggestions were to add such unofficial activities as "Cooking" and 
"Sleeping." 
Often the suggestions were more specific instances of tasks already included in the Inventory. For example, "Listen to subordinates' complaints" or "Administer policies and views of battalion chief" are specific instances of "Formally [supervising] firefighters ..."or" [Interacting] informally with other members of the shift." A complete list of suggested additions is included in Appendix J. 
Considering the few substantive tasks that might be included in future inventories, especially for entry level work, it 
11 
is reasonable to conclude that the present Inventory was comprehensive. Confirmation of this comes from the comments on the last page of the Inventory. Although most (69%) raters indicated that the Inventory was too long, many acknowledgec the necessity for its length and commented on its comprehensiveness. 
Relevance of duty categories. In response to the question, "Were the task statements meaningfully" grouped into duties?", 64 percent of the entry level firefighters checked the ~response. Another 19 percent failed to respond to the particular question, and the 17 percent negative responders provided little or no substantive suggestions for improvement. These findings confirm that the organization of tasks into duties was a meaningful way of describing firefighter work. This is important when information about duties is used in the development of the predictors or the criteria. 
Order of scale administration. Although the order and sequence in which the three scales were administered was completely counterbalanced, it is of interest to determine to what extent sequence and order effects may have affected mean ratings on the three scales. 
Because the rating scales are partially confounded with sequence and order effects, six one-way analyses of variance were calculated. The first three analyses consider the ratings on the three scales separately for the six possible sequences: CTD, CDT, TCD, TDC, DCT, and DTC. Note that due to the partial confounding the identical sequence of CTD, for example, means different things when applied to the ratings for the different scales. For criticality it means that criticality was rated first. For time, the sequence means that time was rated second, after criticality and before difficulty. For difficulty, it shows that difficulty ratings were made last, following a criticality-time rating sequence. 
The analyses show that there is no significart sequence effect, and that differences among total mean ratings for the three scales can be attributed to chance. Respective F's (5,159) for Criticality, Time and Difficulty are. 1.25, .36, and 2.06, all nonsignificant at the .05 level. 
To more specifically investigate 
order effects the first, second and third 
order for completing each scale were corn
pared. For Criticality and Time the F's 
are .49 (2,162) and .03 (2,164), both
nonsignificant at the .OS level of statis
tical significance. For Difficulty the F 
(2,162) is 4.85. Only the Difficulty scale 
is significantly affected by order effects. 
Mean comparisons show that difficulty rat
ings decrease as the order of administering 
the difficulty scale increases from first to . to second to third. Although the effect 
was significant, the w2 index (Hays 1973) 
shows that it accounted for only 4.5 percent 
of the variance. The smallness of the 
effect and the counterbalancing of the re
search design did not warrant special treat
ment of the difficulty data for the pur
poses of this study. 
Appendix K shows the total mean ratings for the six sequences and the one-way analysis of variance tests for significance. Appendix L contains .the comparisons of the order effect on each scale. 
Rater reliability. There were no reasons to expect rater reliabilities to be any different for this population than for the Air Force populations studied by Crista! who found that reliabilities for raters of inventories such as those used in this study range from .95 to .99 (Cristal 1974). 
In order to obtain estimates of the stability of the Task Inventory ratings for two different samples of entry level firefighters, the entry level raters were randomly divided into two subgroups using an odd-even split by identification number. Initial correlations between mean task ratings of the even-numbered group and the odd-numbered group were unexpectedly low. 
Examination of the mean ratings for each group showed that low ~·s for some of the 381 tasks results in a biased split of the sample. This was particularly true when only one rater performed a particular task, possibly resulting in a high rating on that task only.for the one group to which that rater was assigned. Recorrelating the task ratings only for tasks performed by at least ten raters in each split group increased the reliability estimates to .90,

Although these reliability estimates are not all as high as those found by Christal, they are nevertheless acceptable. The differences may be due to the smaller number of raters used in this study. 
Adequacx of scale functioning. In order to determine the effectiveness of the three rating scales, two types of data can be considered. First, to what extent do raters use the entire 7-point scale to distinguish relative standing among tasks? Second, to what extent do the scales measure the same thing? 
To answer the first question, Appendix N shows the mean, standard deviation, range of the ratings, and number of tasks performed by each rater on each scale. With some exceptions, raters used both extremes 
(1 and 7) of the scale at least once in 
their ratings. If the entire scale was not 
used for one of the ratings, it was used in 
its entirety for another. Most standard 
deviations of ratings by the sample of 
raters ranged between 1.00 and 2.00, show
ing an adequate dispersion, about the mean 
of a 7-point scale. 
While the mean refers to the average of a set of scores,the standard deviation is a measure of how much the scores tend to deviate from that average. It represents the average absolute deviation of the scores from the mean. When the distribution of scores is normal, or approximately normal, the standard deviation can be used to indicate how many scores fall within a certain range about the mean. The range within one standard deviation on each side of the mean includes about 68 percent of all the scores. Within two standard deviations, 95 percent are included, while three standard deviations include 99 percent of all the scores. Thus, if a rater's mean rating is 4.0 with a standard deviation of 1.5, 68 percent of the rater's responses lie between 2.5 and 
5. 5. The remaining 3 2 percent lie in the portions of the scale below 2.5 and above 
5. 5. 
Two raters on the criticality scale and one rater on the time scale did not vary their responses at all. The consistent ratings of "7" by two raters on criticality suggest that they had some difficulties with the relativity aspect of the scale and may have judged tasks in a more absolute sense. Both raters were in the condition that rated criticality first and seem to have overcome their difficulty when they rated tasks on time and difficulty. The one rater, who gave unvarying responses on the time scale, rated all tasks "average" (4) in terms of the relative amount of time they involved. 
The average number of tasks performed by the entry level firefighter was 177 with a standard deviation of 44 tasks. 
To look more closely at the pattern of ratings on individual tasks, frequency distributions were calculated for a select sample of tasks. Tasks were chosen to represent those that were performed by at least fifty firefighters and which had the highest and lowest standard deviation of ratings in their duty. Appendix 0 shows the frequency distributions for tasks with the highest standard deviation for each duty on each scale. Appendix P shows the distributions for tasks with the lowest variance. 
A summary of these data in Table 4 shows that tasks with the highest variance within one duty on a scale can have the lowest variance on another scale. For example, D37 "Don and use mask" is considered critical with very little variation; however, there is less agreement about the relative amount of time spent on the task. 
Several factors must be considered in evaluating the variance of time ratings. Most importantly variance in time ratings increases with variations in the amount of time spent on the task by different firefighters. For example, standard deviations on first aid tasks in Duty H are relatively high, since these tasks are almost exclusively performed by the small group of entry level firefighters with experience in ambulance units. Another reason for high variance may be that the task is somewhat ambiguous due to compounding, as in "[donning] and [using a] mask" which is a task performed by nearly everyone (95%). Ambiguity can also result from the comr plexity of the activities involved in performing a task, such as, El6, "Reset alarm systems (or insure that this is done)." Appendix Q shows the tasks performed by at least fifty firefighters, ordered from the highest to the lowest standard deviation on each scale, The data are based on actual ratings by firefighters performing each task.

The entry level firefighters in the 
sample of 165 consist almost entirely of the lowest ranking uniformed members in the DCFD. Only nine had advanced to a technician class, five of these were in an ambulance unit. Besides qualifying for ambulance units, whose members are underrepresented in the sample, entry level firefighters do not usually progress beyond their initial status within the entry level position. Consistent with this is the close correspondence between months in rank and months in department, 41.3 and 43.9, respectively. For nearly all raters these data are equivalent. 
As discussed earlier, unit assignment coincides with the number of units of each type. One hundred and nine entry level firefighters served in engine companies, 48 in truck companies, 2 in the rescue squads, 5 in the ambulance, and 1 on the fireboat. 
Unit number is irrelevant in describing the sample, but it is worth noting that the three shifts or platoons are equally represented. Division membership shows that 3 entry level firefighters were not in the Fire Fighting Division. One each reported serving in the Training, Apparatus and Communication Divisions. Personnel records show that no entry level firefighters serve in the Training Division, indicating that that response may be erroneous. Entry level firefighters are occasionally detailed temporarily to the Apparatus Division, which can account for the one rater marking that as the division of his assignment. Some other entry level firefighters can be detailed to Communications Division or, as in the case of six members, can have their position converted to that division when they are unable to continue work in the Fire Fighting Division. One member of the sample worked in the Communications Division. Although no member of the sample worked in the Fire Prevention Division, a few entry level firefighters perform work in this division, since less than six years ago some entry level firefighters were assigned to Fire Prevention on an experimental basis. This practice has since been abandoned. Since all of these cases are atypical and exceptions to DCFD career progression, they are not an official aspect of entry level work. Because there are so few individuals in these atypical categories, they were retained 
in the sample. 
Although presented, the data about 
percentage of time spent in current assignment must be used ~.;rith caution. First, numerous entry level firefighters were uncertain about the meaning of "assignment" and questioned whether it referred to their present rank, unit, or position within a unit. Second, some raters may have recorded their response in terms of months rather 
than percent. This may account for the relatively high proportion (12 percent) of 
responses between 1 to 12 percent of the 
time spent in the last year. It is con
servatively estimated that at least 60 per
cent of the entry level firefighters spent 
90 percent or more of the last year in their present assignment. 
About one-third of the sample had prior firefighting experience and up to 39 percent had taken firefighting courses. This suggests that there is a solid core of entry level firefighters who express more than a passing interest in firefighting. 
The average height and weight for the sample are 71 inches (5 feet, 11 inches) and 178 pounds. Two members of the sample reported that they had only completed some high school. Seventy-five had completed no more education than high school or its equivalent. Sixty-three had up to two years college, 21 up to four years, and 4 claimed Bachelor's degrees. A check of the personnel records showed that the two members who reported "some high school" had actually completed high school and may have misrecordea their answer to that question. In general, entry level firefighters are high school graduates and a considerable number have completed or are completing college-level work. 
The Inventory provided a place for raters to include their name and Social Security Account Number for identification purposes. Cristal and his associates (1974) of the Human Resources Laboratory at Lackland Air Force Base found that the validity of task ratings can be enhanced when raters provide their name on a task inventory. Name information also allows possible followup or clarification of unexpected results. Although the name and Social Security Account Number were not required, all but 23 raters provided their name. Possihly because the Social Security Account Number item was preceded by a Privacy Act notice, a larger number

perceiving Duty H as more critical and time consuming when experience in the DCFD increases, Duty H also increases in relative difficulty. As the firefighters become more experienced,they most likely become increasingly more involved in the more critical and difficult aspects of first aid care. 
Four Procedures for Analyzing Task Ratings 
Before describing the primary job 
analysis results, it is necessary to discuss briefly the several ways the task ratings can be analyzed. In Procedure 1, statistics are calculated directly from the available raw data. In these calculations, means and standard deviations are derived only from the actual ratings of the firefighters performing the task. These statistics were the bases of the descriptions of scale functioning. Table 12 shows how these calculations are made from ratings by a hypothetical sample of five raters on an inventory consisting of only four tasks. 
Although this first procedure is the most direct, it has its disadvantages. First, it is affected by the response 
hypothetical raw task ratings on the 
biases of individual raters. Suppose that the theoretical "true" rating of task Tl is 2. This rating is inflated to 2.7 due to the 4 rating of Rater 1 who rated all tasks a 4 and may not have differentiated well among the four tasks. Another rater with a unique interpretation of the meaning of task T2 might have rated it a 7, which would have inflated the mean score more dramatically. Such biases, if extreme, can significantly alter the mean rating of a task, particularly when the number of raters performing the task is small. This sensitivity to small n's is a second disadvantage of this procedure. For example, task T4 has a mean rating of 5.5, although it is performed by only two raters, who may or may not be atypical of the raters in the sample. This could result in a task receiving a very high rating based solely on the perceptions of a few unique raters. 
In order to remedy the first difficulty. of rater response bias, a second analysis procedure was used which standardizes raw scores on the individual rater. This procedure is shown in Table 13. In Procedure 2 all ratings are converted to a percentage of all the ratings obtained from a given rater. For example, Rater 3 used a total

Rank order of tasks from highest to lowest mean: T4, T3, Tl, T2.

of 4 rating points (see Table 12) which were assigned equally to two tasks. Thus each task received 50 p~rcent of the ratings. Rater 1 has higher ratings than Rater 3, yet the relative ratings assigned to each task for Rater 1 are lower (25%) than those for Rater 3 (50%). If Rater 1 had performed only 2 tasks and had rated both tasks equally, their relative· ratings would be identical to those for Rater 3. It should be apparent that the magnitude of the relative percentage weight of a task varies as a function of the sum of the ratings and the number of tasks performed by each rater. If the n,umber of 
tasks is particularly small, the proportionate weight assigned to a particular task is relatively large, such as the 100 percent weight for task Tl by Rater 
2. Such large weights can dramatically affect the relative ranking of tasks performed by few raters. For example, the rank of task Tl would change considerably if it was performed by only a few raters. However, large weights should not be a source of alarm in themselves, unless there is reas0n to suspect that the rater performed more tasks than were indicated. In most inventories a sufficiently large number of tasks are performed by each rater so that relative weights for tasks across raters are small and fairly similar. 
The second procedure, however, does not overcome the problem that comes from averaging only the scores for the raters who perform a task. Although this procedure is useful in identifying how critical, timeconsuming, or difficult a task is for an individual who performs it, it does not establish its criticality, time, or difficulty for the job class as a whole. This is important when the task data is used to develop a selection examination for a job as a whole. If an examination is developed to reflect the top tasks from a Procedure 1 or 2 analysis, it may result in an examination that measures only the knowledges, skills or abilities required by a few individuals who perform a few atypical tasks. Rather, it is important to identify the tasks that are meaningful for the job as a whole s~nce it is for the overall job that the selection instrument is designed. A third procedure was developed to correct this difficulty.

Note. Raw entries are identical to the relative percentages shown~Table 13. However, the n used to calculate the mean percents includes all raters, whether they perform the task or not. 
The third procedure, Procedure 3, is shown in Table 14 and is identical to the second pr:ocedure, except that the mean ratings on a task are averaged over all raters and not just over those performing the task. This in effect sets the n for all tasks at the n for the entire sample. It assumes that-the 1-7 scale can be extended such that nonperformance of a task is equivalent to a zero rating. It means that a task not performed has no meaning for the position being described by the rater. Alternatively, the nonperformed task is not critical, is not time-consuming, and has no difficulty value for the position performed by the rater. 
This third procedure is the one used most extensively by Crista! and is at the core of the Comprehensive Occupational Data Analysis Programs (CODAP). Because of its rational basis and its demonstrated utility, Procedure 3 was selected as the focus of this analysis. An additional advantage of using this procedure is the availability of the sophisticated computer programs of CODAP for analyzing and sum~ marizing the large quantities of data. 
Finally, Table 15 shows the fourth procedure that balances out the design. This procedure averages raw ratings over all raters without standardizing on the individual raters. Procedure 4, like Procedure 2, corrects only one of the difficulties of simply averaging raw ratings. 
Appendix S shows the mean ratings for all the tasks using the four different procedures. The procedure intercorrelations are summarized in. Tables 16, 17 and 18 for the three scales. 
It is clear from the high correlations between Procedures 1 and 2 and Procedures 3 and 4 that standardizing the ratings on the individual raters has relatively little effect on the results, particularly when the number of tasks and. raters are large. However, averaging ratings over all entry level firefighters,· regardless of whether or not they perform a task, can significantly change a job description.

Table 19 compares Procedure 1 and 3 
analyses for the top 95 tasks (25%), showing their common and unique contributions on each ~cale. In general, Procedure 1 in
cludes tasks with high ratings but which are performed by relatively few raters. Procedure 3 includes tasks with more moderate ratings but which are performed by a larger number of entry level firefighters. 
This difference between procedures is manifested when the top 95 tasks on the three scales are combined to yield unique tasks. For Procedure 1, this results in 188 different tasks, while Procedure 3 yields 108 tasks. 
With the Procedure 1 analysis, each scale tends to contribute its own unique set of tasks, each task being performed by relatively few firefighters. There is much more overlap among the top 95 tasks of the three scales when Procedure 3 is used. This is a direct result of the consideration of the n in the calculations. Regardless of the scale, tasks performed by a large number of raters have an increased chance of being in the top 95 tasks. Since the number of raters for any task is essentially fixed across scales, it is inevitable that the scales will overlap. In summary, Procedure 1 and 3 overlap by 82 tasks or 38 percent of the total number of unique tasks involved in the tHo lists of top rated tasks. 
Based on these comparisons, there is more than just a rational difference between analysis procedures, particularly when the 
difference is in the group of raters used to calculate the mean ratings. Standardizing ratings on the individual raters has little effect on the results when all raters perform a large number of tasks. 
A comparison of the way the three procedures order the four tasks shown in Tables 11 through 14 shows that the order is not always the same and that tasks selected from the top of such a list can represent different aspects of the job. Appendix T and U show how the tasks are ordered using Procedure 1 and 3 for analyzing the data. Included in Appendix V is a CODAP analysis. This analysis represents a typical CODAP job description printout and includes not only Procedure 2 and 3 data but also information about the number of raters performing each task and the cummulative percentage of ratings accounted for by the tasks. The 
particular CODAP analysis included orders 
the tasks from the highest to the lowest 
score on the third column to the right of 
the task statement. This data is identi
cal with Procedure 3. The second column 
coincides with Procedure 2 data. Because 
CODAP is more restrictive in accepting incomplete data, the ~'s for CODAP vary 
slightly from those used for the other analyses. 
Analysis of the CODAP Tasks Listipgs The tables in Appendix V show that 50 percent of the ratings on any one scale are derived from less than 100 of the 381 tasks and that these tasks are performed by at least 60 percent of the entry level firefighters. Many of these tasks are performed by over 90 percent of the firefighters, indicating that the most critical, time-consuming, and difficult aspects of firefighting are shared rather generally among entry level firefighters. 
That more tasks were not performed by 100 percent of the entry level sample suggests that there may be a few atypical positions or that some raters failed to rate a task they performed. 
At the other extreme, 6 tasks were not rated by anyone. All other tasks were performed by at least one entry level firefighter. Some of these latter tasks are: 
K6 Plan, initiate and carry out long 
range programs 
J4 Develop lesson plans 
Kll Counsel subordinates on career 
development. 
However, these cases are exceptions and account for less than .01 percent (.0001) of the total ratings. With no exceptions, tasks in the bottom 25 percent of the rank ordered listings are not tasks that would be expected from entry level firefighters. This was expected, particularly since the Inventory was designed to include tasks performed by officers in the DCFD. 
Not surprisingly, the most critical tasks for the entry level firefighter were: 
J26 Learn district 
Gl3 Maintain personal firefighting 
equipment in readiness 
D37 Don and use mask 
A3 Don protective clothing 
A4 Man apparatus.

The list continues in a similar manner showing the emphasis on personal safety and learning and performing the basic operations involved in locating and extinguishing a fire. The first three tasks directly pertaining to saving other persons' lives do not occur until tasks 26, 32, and 69. Although 'these.tasks may be very critical when they are performed, they occur relatively infrequently and involve few entry level firefighters. Consequently, these tasks receive a low overall criticality rating for the job classification as a whole when Procedure 3 is used. 
For time, the top tasks were: 
J26 Learn the district 
K45 Stand watch 
K63 Clean and maintain quarters 
K~6 Report and prepare for duty 
Gl3 Maintain personal firefighting 
equipment in readiness. 
These tasks represent the most time-consuming tasks involving a large number of entry level firefighters. Again, "Learning the district" comes out on top. Although a considerable amount of time is devoted to learning the district and units periodically "go on the air" to survey their district, this task would not be expected to 
be number 1. Intruding into the time rat
ings of this task might be the numerous offduty hours spent driving through the district in order to learn everything possible that might facilitate locating and extinguishing a fire. "[Standing] watch" would be 
expected to be among the most time-consuming tasks, since it is a one-hour detail performed on a rotating basis among the firefighters in a unit. Cleaning, maintenance, testing, and inspecting are integral parts of the preparedness of a firefighter and consequently consume a large portion of the time. 
Closely following the most timeconsuming tasks are tasks concerned with learning and performing basic fireground 
operations. Of the 18 tasks in the Inven
tory directly concerned with "learning" or "studying," 13 appeared among the top 25 percent of the time-consuming tasks. Jl4, "Read and study basic firefighting 
manuals" ranked 21st, confirming that entry level firefighters spend a considerable amount of time studying the large volume of firefighting literature. 
Although tasks concerned with hose.evolutions are prominent, only 3 tasks i11:: the ... top 25 percent directly involve the u13e ·of ..·· ladders. The first of these, C27 "CJ,.iziiD cr.descend ladders.without carrying equipm.'ent,", does not occur until the 74th ranked >task.
( ~ I. j-) ' •.J
This difference .between engine company~_and. 
truck company functions can be large.ly~: :· 
attributed to the different numbers :of~~ntry

tions. Many hose evolutions are typically 
performed by.over 90 percent of the ~~;r,y 
level firefighters, while ladder f~mctions 
are performed by less than 90 percent ~f · 
the members. 
• fl 
Entry level firefighters, on the whole, 
spend very little time performing special 
emergency operations (Duty F), providing .. 
first aid and assistance (Duty H), inspect-· 
ing and investigating (Duty I) or pe~form-' 
ing public relations activities (Duty L). 
The total number of tasks from these duties 
that ranked among the top 25 percent of the 
time-consuming tasks is only five. Except 
for Duty H, "First Aid and Assistance," 
these four duties maintain their relatively 
low standing on the difficulty scale.· Where_ 
Duty H had only two tasks in the top 25 per~. 
cent of the time-consuming tasks, six are 
among the top 25 percent for difficulty. 
The most difficult tasks include:· 
J26 Learn district Bll Locate fire C3 Perform search operations A7 Drive apparatus to and from scene H26 Handle a~d lift injured persons C8 Make forcible entries D21 Operate line in confined space· 
The dual nature of the difficulty ratings ~!?. 
apparent in the rank ordered listing. Of 
the 30 most difficult tasks, 10 directly im
ply physical exertion, the remaining 20 
tasks derive their difficulty level from 
more mental processes. These processes include "learning," "examining," "determining," "selecting," "calculating," and so on. This prominence of tasks with mental compo~ nents highlights the increased sophistication of the fire service and the increasing reliance on judgment, knowledge, and ingenu~. ity in combatting fires. Also appearing among the top 50 tasks are most of the tasks 
(J25, D27, D29, D30, D24, D28) directly involving abilities in mathematics. These tasks appear relatively late on the criti
cality scale and are not among the top 25 percent of the time-consuming tasks. 
30 

It'must be noted that the mean percentage wJights (percentage of all possible ratings) ,for even the most critical,' timeconsuming . or difficult tasks do not exceed 1 perc'ent of all the ratings on the respective stale. This is not unexpected consider'ing'that the average entry level firefighter reports performing 177 tasks. Equally rating 177 tasks results in a percentage of .56. A maximum relative task weightLof 3.78 percent could occur for a task orily if it received a rating of 7, while· all other tasks received a rating of 1. 
The highest weighted task is J26, "Learn district," on the time scale. It accounts,. for • 98 percent of all the time ratings on the Inventory. Generally, the top tasks on the time ratings receive a slight'!y higher percentage of the total ratings than the top tasks on the other two scales. The highest rated critical task has a rating of only .75 percent, while the highest rating for difficulty is .91 percent. 
Considering the less than 1 percent weights of the tasks and the relatively small range (.40-.98) of their percentage weights among the top 25 percent of the tasks, it was considered impractical to differentially weight tasks. Consequently, all tasks in the top 25 percent of each scale are considered equally and given a unit weight of 1. 
Construction of the Task List to be Used in Identifying Firefighter KSAOs 
At various times during the preceding sections, the rank ordered task lists have been compared and described in terms of the top 25 percent of the tasks or the top 95 tasks. This proportion was not selected arbitrarily. One of the purposes of the Task Inventory was to provide a basis for identifying the knowledges, skills, abilities, and other characteristics needed to perform the entry level firefighter job. Since this identification process (described in a separate report) would be unwieldy using all of the 381 tasks, it was decided that only the most critical, time-consuming, and difficult tasks for the job would be considered. 
There are several ways in which these top tasks can be selected. Brumbach et al. (1974) initially selected the tasks that were in the top quarter on all three scales 
Inspection of the CODAP listings show that these 120 tasks 
simultaneously. Tasks were later added that 
were high in importance and high on 
one of the other two scales that were used. 
In order to assure that all uniquely critical, time-consuming and difficult tasks were. included, the tasks selected in this study had to be rated high on only one of the three scales. It was determined that 100-150 tasks would be manageable in the identification of KSAOs. Based on this consideration and the desirability of including a substantial portion of the tasks on each scale, it was decided to compile a task list of the top quarter of the tasks or 95 of 381 tasks for each of the three · scales. If tasks beyond this cutoff had the same weight as the 95th task, these tasks were also included. 
Table 20 shows the 120 tasks that result from this selection and indicates for which scale the task is included in the top quarter.3 Of the selected tasks, 67 are in the top quarter on all three scales. Only four tasks derive solely from the top criticality quarter: 
Dl7 Connect to standpipe system D25 Prime pumps D38 Tie appropriate rope knots. El6 Reset alarm systems (or insure 
that this is done). 
Five tasks come from the top time spent 
quarter only: 

J'38 Practice procedures •.• J45 Engage in physical fitness activity. Kl Interact informally with other members of the shift. K49 Receive and acknowledge department officers. L21 Assist visitors...• 
Ten tasks rank in the top quarter of the 
difficulty scale only. They are: 

BlO Size up. 
Bl8 Determine stability of supporting 
surfaces ... B26 Control distraught persons. D9 Extend or reduce hose lines. ElO Cover openings, e.g., roof, 
windows, floors. Gl8 Make minor repairs to equipment and 
tools. 
Hl2 Treat victims of heart trouble. 
J21 Learn effects of special adverse 
conditions .•. 
include at least half of the 
critical, time-consuming, and difficult tasks of the entry level job.

J28 Learn the structural components of buildings. Jl2 Take tests. 
The remaining 34 tasks rank in the top quarter on combinations of any two of the three scales. Most of the tasks with unique derivations rank low among the tasks in their quarter and barely make the 25 percent cutoff. The considerable overlap among the top quarters of the three scales indicates that the task list includes a sub-· stantial portion of the significant aspects of firefighting. 
Supervisory ratings of entry level tasks. Appendix W contains the ratings of the six supervisors for the entry level tasks. On 168 of the 381 tasks there was unanimous agreement that the task was performed by entry level firefighters, and for only 16 tasks was there the maximum disagreement of three "for" and three "against " (N=6). 
It was determined a priori that the supervisory perception of the entry level job would be used to supplement the ratings of entry level firefighters. Since supervisors would have only indirect evidence for the amount of time spent on many tasks, their time ratings were not included. Difficulty ratings were also excluded, because they might contribute an excessively large number of difficult tasks performed by only a few rare individuals. Supervisory perceptions of task criticality, however, can significantly complement the entry level job ,task list. 
Table 21 lists the 39 statements from the top quarter of the criticality ratings of the six supervisors. These are statements that the entry level firefighters did not include among their own ratings of the top critical, time-consuming, or difficult tasks.

weights. To the extent that the number of tasks within a duty may be artifactual, this relationship has to be considered in interpreting the relative weight of the duties. Since the duty categories of this Inventory were carefully developed and reviewed, any differences in the number of tasks they include can usually be considered to directly reflect their weight. However, the Inventory was designed for all work performed by uniformed members through the rank of captain. To the extent that duty weights for the entry level job are contingent on the number of tasks in the duties for the entire DCFD, there will be a bias in the results. The CODAP duty weights shown in Table 21 contain some of this bias, since the duty weights are an accumulation of the task percentages within the duties,regardless of how few entry level firefighters perform the tasks or how small the percentages are. 
Table 22 shows that the duties concerned with fire extinguishing (D), training (J), and gener~l management (K) consistently receive high weights. Duties, F, I and L concerned with special emergencies, inspections, and public relations receive consistently low weights. Ladder truck operations (C), responding to alarms 
(A) and emergency first aid (H) generally ranked lower than might be expected, particularly on the criticality scale. The low weights on criticality for these duties reflect the relatively smaller number of tasks in these duties or the relatively fewer members performing tasks in these duties. 
More meaningful duty weights for the entry level job can be derived from the top quarter of the entry level tasks. Since there is relatively little variance among task ratings at this level, each task can be assumed to have unit weight, making the duty weights the simple sums of tasks in each duty. Table 23 shows the number of tasks in each duty that are included in the top quarter of each entry level scale and the supervisory criticality scale used to compile the final list of tasks. Table 24 shows the corresponding ranks for the duties. 
Compared to the CODAP analysis of Table 22, the frequency weighting method shown in Tables 23 and 24 derive more directly from the entry level job. Most noticeably, the frequency method diminishes 
the relative criticality of "Training" (Duty J) while enhancing the weight of Duty A, "Responding to Alarms." For difficulty, the administrative type tasks of Duty K change from fourth highest to fourth lowes.t rank. Duty H, "Providing First Aid," does not increase its relative weight indicating that relatively few tasks in this duty are in the top quarter of any of the three scales. Although these tasks receive high criticality ratings (mean=5.9) from those who perform them, their overall weight for all entry level positions is relatively small. Typically, these tasks are reported to be performed by less than 50 percent of the entry level firefighters. 
Supervisors rating the entry level job, however, rated first aid (Duty H) high on criticality, second only to fire extinguishment (Duty D). Supervisors also tended to rate Duty F, "Performing Special Emergency Operations," to be more critical than did the entry level firefighters. These differences highlight the theoretically different ways of collecting, analyzing and interpreting task data. Where criticality for the entry level firefighter is interpreted, it pertains to relative criticality averaged over all raters and tasks. Consequently ratings can be low even when the task, in an absolute serise, may be very critical for the few individuals performing it. Supervisors, however, rated the relative criticality of tasks for the entry level job without averaging over the entire sample. Consequently, their ratings of criticality are made more directly and more in proportion to an absolute criticality scale. It is this same distinction that contributed 39 additional tasks to the entry level task list, a much greater contribution than that for any single scale of the entry level firefighters. Since critical situations do occur and all firefighters are expected to perform effectively and appropriately, it is important that the KSAOs required to perform in those situations are possessed by the firefighter. It is in identifying these kinds of tasks that the supervisory ratings make their significant contribution to the entry level task list. 
When the ranks of duties based on the number of tasks in the top 25 percent of each scale are averaged, the overall mean ranking of duties, from most to least important, is: fire extinguishment 
(Duty D), preparation (Duty J and G),

Training School Visit 
September 22, 1975 

The entry-level firefighter job: The first year a firefighter spends in the DCFD is a 
probationary year. It includes the initial 45-day (9-week) training at the Training School ans subsequent assignment to an active truck or engine company for the remainder of the year. After completing the year of probation, the firefighter can be assigned to either a truck, engine, or rescue squad company, or to an ambulance unit. He may be rotated among any of these units and is expected to know.how to perfornt the different job tasks associated 
with each company or squad. A firefighter is not eligible for promotion to officer rank until he has served six years. He may compete for promotion to several technician levels of firefighter before he has served six years, but because length of experience counts in the ratings, in practice most firefighters serving less than six years do not expect to earn one of these promotions. For these reasons, the entry-level firefighter job in the DCFD can basically be considered that of firefighters who have completed one year of probation, but have six years of experience or less. 
Traini~g program. Training in the DCFD is twofold: Instruction given in the Training 
School and continual on-the-job drill included as a part of daily routine. 
The ivitial training course given at the Training School for newly apppointed firefighters 
is 45 days long. It includes beth training in skills and training in the knowledges needed to perform as a firefighter. Much of the knowledge is covered in technical manuals that are written in fairly complex language. The skills are taught using actual apFaratus, climbing towers, and controlled fire situations. lVhen the course is completed, the firefighter should have learned everything necessary to perform all the basic tasks he may be assigned. The rest of the probationary year is to allow these skills and knowledges to develop through application. 
During the 45 day course, daily quizzes are given to indicate to both the instructor and 
the firefighter how well the ~aterial or skill training is being understood. Success or 
failure in training, however, is based on three major proficiency tests given at three-week 
intervals in the training course. (There are several series of these three tests, designed 
to be parallel in content and rotated among the classes so the test content remain secure.) 
It is possible to receive a failing mark on the first of the three, which counts 20% of the 
final training school grade, and still pass the training course by doing well on the last 
two tests. There is a very low failure rate in the training school (perhaps 1 to 2%) be
cause of the individual attention given each trainee. 
Throughout the probationary year, a firefighter is trained and tested monthly by the station commander in certain skills and knowledges. These skills and knowledges and how to teach them are prescribed for the station commander in the probation training manual. The tests are a combination of oral examination and observation of perfornance. The tests must be passed for the probationer to continue as a firefighter. 
After the probationary year is completed, on-the-job training continues. Special courses in advanced techniques or special equipment are given at the Training School. More important, however, is the training drill included in every daily schedule in the fire stations. 1bere are specific skills or parts of the training and operational equipment manuals designated in the training guides to be covered in each drill. Drill generally takes two hours each day. Each firefighter is also e}>.-pected to spend time studying the special equipment and tasks associated with the company or squad where he is currently
assigned. 
Major tasks and duties of entrl-:level firefighter. Chief Devine and Chief Cross see the major duties and tasks of the firefighter to be those encompassed by the fire department mandate: to fight and control fire and to save property and life in fire and other

Fire Station Visit September 24, 1975 
During the on-site visit to the fire station, discussions werehei.tl:with the platobn commander in charge of the station, Capt. L.L. Beardmore, and with many. ofi 'the': firefighters assigned to the station. The following sections are a synthesis· of: tesp·onses·' froniieach of these diSCUSSiOnS, They alSO represent ObServatiOnS made by the· CSC 1 teatil~ .I ''. 
Requirements to perform firefighter job. The key requirements given. bythe firefighters are: "ability to make quick decisions," "ability to adjust routine evolutions: as-: the emergency situation changes," "dependability," "sense of responsibility," ."be there ·when his company needs him," "desire to help people," "courage." The need for verbal, mathematical, and mechanical abilities was discussed. Many of the firefighters felt that a basic level of these abilities must be possessed by new hires, but that most of the skills or knowledges required to perform successfully in the DCFD can be learned on the job. The attitude of the individual firefighter is considered crucial. Those who view the fire department as "just another job'' or a "job taken because the pay is good" can possibly learn the skills and knowledges but are not likely to be outstanding firefighters nor to be willing to invest the time and energy necessary to be promoted. The question of whether or not changes in attitude could be eh.rpected during training or after reporting to a fire station was brought up. The firefighters did not think this a likely possibility and several noted that they had never seen it happen. 
Major duties, tasks of firefighter~. In discussing the performance of the firefighter in 
an actual emergency fireground operation, the criticality of the initial response to 'an 
alarm was repeatedly stressed. This initial response includes the arrival at the fire 
scene, the size-up, the set-up of apparatus, the entry of the building, and all of the 
teamwork and individual decision-making that accompanies these activities. Because this initial response generally occurs within the first few minutes on the scene, it is seldom observed by the layman. On the basis of these interviews it is clear that a job analysis would not be complete without the observation of a fiieground operation.· It is especially 
important that such observation include the critical first few minUtes of response. 
A second important point that emerged from the discussions and was supported by our observations is that training and drills are considered by the firefighter to be integral parts of the firefighter job. Drill is included in the daily routine and is not considered a "time filler" activity. Firefighters are encouraged to study on their own and to keep their knowledges and skills current. 
Complexity, freguen~of duties. The number of tasks or skills learned by each firefighter is necessarily great for two reasons. Ffrst, firefighters are rotated and assigned to the various units within a fire station or detailed from company to company, day by day, to meet 
manpower shortages. Thus each firefighter has to know how to function on the pumper, the ladder truck, the rescue squad truck, or 'the ambulance. Second, emergency situations are never exactly alike and all firefighters are trained to expect and react appropriately to a wide variety of emergencies under various conditions. Although a particular knowledge or skill may seldom be used, it must nevertheless be in the firefighter's repertoire should the situation arise. 
Conditions influencing performance. The weather, the tfme of day or month, the section of the city, the type of construction, the road conditions, the availability of and sophistication of apparatus, and many other factors influence performance at ·any one emergency,. The firefighter's work has also been affected in the past by harassment of. the firefighters, both verbal and physical, and such problems continue today. False alarms are a frequent occurrence. These sap the eneq,'Y of the firefighter, especially when they occur during the night shift.

DCFD 


Supplementary Description of the DCFD 
Figure 1 shows the organizational structure of the DCFD. In brief, of the approximately 1255 uniformed paid full time personnel, most are assigned to the fourty-nine firefighting companies in the Fire Fighting Division. These companies are of two types: engine company and truck company. Fully staffed engine companies consist of seven firefighters who man and operate the fire extinguishing equipment. Truck company members eight in number who man the ladder trucks are primarily responsible for entry, search, rescue, and ventilation. To date, there are no uniformed women firefighters in the DCFD. 
The Fire Fighting Division also includes three (now four) rescue squads of five trained personnel who respond to special emergencies, while first aid care is provided by personnel in ten ambulance units, each with ten members. Approximately 60 percent of the ambulance personnel are uniformed firefighters, the remainder are civilians. Only two personnel man an ambulance at any one time. Finally the Fire Fighting Division maintains several specialized units, such as the fireboat, the twinned agents units, the salvage wagon, and the searchlight wagon. 
Uniformed members of the DCFD work 48-hour weeks in alternating shifts of three days on day duty, three days on night duty, and three days off. Day shifts are 10 hours, night shifts 14. Besides their regular three days off, every firefighter gets an extra fourth day off on a rotating basis. This is the randomly assigned paddle day and occurs once every nine weeks. 
A career in the DCFD starts with appointment to the Department. This involves successful completion of a written entrance test, a medical examination, and a background investigation. Applicants also must be between the ages of 20 and 29 and have obtained a high school diploma or equivalent at the time of appointment. The latter requirement can be met if a candidate has at least one year full time paid experience as a firefighter in a city with a population of at least 500,000. 
Following appointment, new members receive 45 days of formal training and serve the balance of their first year in an on-the-job training program. During the entire one-year probation period, entry level firefighters are regularly evaluated for their progress. 
Promotion to the rank of Sergeant is not possible until new members have served at least six years in the DCFD. However, they may be able to qualify for several technician jobs within the first six years. These jobs include such duties as during an apparatus or working in an ambulance unit. At some time during their first six years, all entry level firefighters are assigned a one-year detail in an ambulance. This assignment is largely random and usually occurs during a member's second or third year in the Department.

FIREFIGHTER TASK INVENTORY (This .!!_ ~.!. test) 
The District of Columbia Fire Department (DCFD) and the U. S. Civil Service 
Commission are conducting a major study of positions in the DCFD. The pur
pose of the study is to obtain information for the development of new examina
tions for uniformed personnel in the DCFD. 
The examination development project will be conducted in several stages and we 
are asking you to help by providing us with knowledge and experience about your 
work in the DCFD. In this first stage of the project you are asked to com
plete the attached Firefighter Task Inventory • When your individual 
responses are analyzed, they will provide a detailed understanding of the 
work performed in the DCFD. This kind of information is essential for the 
development of new examinations. 
. -
This Firefighter Task Inventory consists of several parts. First you will be 
asked to provide some background information about yourself. This is 
necessary so that we can precisely know the characteristics of the group 
completing this inventory and so that we can link your possible future 
input with responses to this inventory. Next, you will be asked to read 
through the list of task statements and to check off those tasks that you 
have performed in the last twelve months. Do not check tasks that you have 
not personally performed. 
To make it easier to complete this inventory, the task statements have been 
grouped into clusters called duties. The groupings are based on the simi
larity between tasks and the order in which they might be expected to occur 
during a firefighting operation. The duty titles are approximations, so 
don't simply skip over a duty because its title does not precisely fit your
job description. 
You will be asked to compare and rate the duties and tasks you perform for: 
(1) the amount of time you spend on each, (2) their criticality (importance) for successful performance on your job, and (3) their level of difficulty, although not necessarily in that order. The inventory also provides spacefor writing in additional task statements and for making general comments and suggestions. 
When you have completed the inventory, go back and check that you have rated

Step 1: Identification of Tasks Performed 
Read each task statement on pages 11 through 31 , and place a check mark 
(J) in column 1 to the right of each statement. that you perform. Mark only 
tasks you have personally performed during the last twelve J1ll months, INCLUDING tasks performed during drill. Do not check tasks you have performed as the result of courses or work outside the DCFD. If you are not sure about the meaning of a task statement or if you have not performed the task, leave it blank. 
If you performed some non-trivial tasks during the last year that are not 
included in this inventory, write them in on page 32 of this inventory. 

NOW TURN TO PAGE 11 AND START CHECKING THE TASKS THAT YOU HAVE PERFORMED 
IN THE LAST TWELVE MONTHS. USE COLUMN 1 TO THE RIGHT OF THE TASK STATEMENTS. 

po NOT READ THE INSTRUCTIONS ON PAGES 5 THROUGH 10 AT THIS TIME. YOU WILL 
RETURN TO THESE PAGES LATER. 

n-7 
Step 2: Relative Difficulty Rating Scale 
Some tasks you performed during the last year are more difficult than 
others. In •this part of· the Task Inventory, you are asked ·to compare
and rate the. relative 'difficulty of each task you performed. ··Rate 
only how thediff'iculty of each task compares to the difficulty of 
other tasks you perform. Say only how difficult the task is for you,
not for ~ther members of the DCFD. 
It is important that you consider both the physical and mental difficultyof the tasks you are rating. Physical tasks will be rated primarily on their physical difficulty and mental tasks on mental difficulty. Most tasks, however, will involve both physical and mental aspects, each of which should be considered. 
Please note that we are interested in the difficulty of each task 
compared to all the other tasks you have performed in the last' year.
Do not just compare tasks in the same task grouping. Since the rating
for each task_is in comparison to all the other tasks you perform, a 
task may be rated above average in difficulty, even though it may not 
be difficult for you. It would only be more difficult than other tasks. 
Do not rate tasks you.did· not perform. Rate only tasks you have. checked' in column 1 to the right of the task statements. 
When rating each task, using the following seven-point scale: 
Relative Difficulty 
1 • Very much below average 2 • Below average 3 • Slightly below average 4 • Average 5 • Slightly above average 6 • Above average 7 Veri much above average
E 
LEGIBLY write the number of your answer in column ! to the right of the task statements. Be ~your answers ~·in the right column. 
For example, a typical entry-level firefighter l'light rate "Gl Clean and polish tools, equipment acd apparatus" with a 1 (Very much below average)because it is one of the easier tasks he performs. On the other hand,
"D21 Operate line in confined space•• or "Jl9 Read and learn advanced hydraulic theories" might be rated 7's (Very much above average),because these were some of the most difficult physical and mental tasks 
he performed during the last year. 
D-8

Not using these examples, choose two tasks from this Inventory that are good examples of tasks you have performed that are "Very much below average" and "Very much above average" in· difficulty. Write a brief description of these tasks on the lines below and place its identifying 
code (letter and number) in the boxes provided, e.g. A 26, B 03.

1 =Very much below average (in difficulty)  0  m  42-44  
7 = Very much above average (in difficulty)  D  []]  45-47  

Use these examples as reference points while you are making your ratings. Try to ~the entire ~-point range of the scale. 
Notice that tasks that are relatively difficult are not necessarily the most critical to your job nor the most time-consuming. 
NOW TURN TO PAGES 11 THROUGH 32 AND RATE THE RELATIVE DIFFICULTY OF EACH TASK YOU PERFORMED. 
LEGIBLY WRITE YOUR RATINGS IN COLUMN 4 OF ~CH PAGE. 
D-9

Step 3: Relative Time Spent Rating Scale 
During the last year you spent more time doing some tasks than other
tasks. In this part of the Task Inventory you are asked to compare
and rate the relative amount of time you spent o_n each task you
performed during the last twelve months. 
In making these comparisons, it is important that you consider both
the number of times you performed the task as well as the amount of
time it took to complete the task each time you performed it. 
Please note that we are interested in the amount of time you spent oneach ·task compared to all the other tasks you performed in the lastyear. Do not just compare tasks in the same task grouping. Think in
terms or-all the·work you have performed in the last year. 
Do not rate tasks you did not perform. Rate only tasks you have checkedin column 1 to the right of the task statements. 
When rating each task, use the following seven-point scale: 
Relative Amount of Time Spent 
1 • Very much below average
2 • Below average
3 • Slightly below average
4 • Average
5 • Slightly above average
6 • Above average
7 • Very much above average 
LEGIBLY write the number of your answer in column 1 to the right of the.task statements. Be~your answers ~in the right column. 
For example, a typical entry-level firefighter might rate "Bl4 Usewalkie-talkie and FD radio equipment" with a 1 (Very much below average)because he performed it only once during the last year, even though itmay have taken him quite a while to complete. On the other hand, "Gl6Maintain inventory of equipment, tools and apparatus" might be rateda 7 (Very much above average) because over a year's time the many timesthat it occurred (even if briefly) it amounted to a large portion oftime compared to the portion of time spent on other tasks.

Not using the above examples, choose two tasks from this Inventory that are good examples of tasks on which you have spent "Very much above" and "Very much below average" time. Write a brief description of these two tasks on the lines below and place its identifying code (letter and number) in the boxes provided, e.g. A 26. B 03.

Use these examples as reference points while you are making your 
ratings. Try to ~the entire ~-point range .2!_ the scale. 
Notice that tasks that you spent a lot of time on are not necessarily the tasks that are most difficult or critical for your job. 
NOW TURN TO PAGES 11 THROUGH 32 AND RATE THE RELATIVE AMOUNT OF TIME YOU SPENT ON EACH TASK. 
LEGIBLY WRITE YOUR RATINGS IN COLUMN 3 OF EACH PAGE. 
D-11 


9 
Step 4: Relative Criticality (Importance) Rating Scale 
Some tasks you performed during the last year are less critical (important)than others. In this part of the Task Inventory, you are asked to compareand rate the relative criticality (importance) of each task you performed.Critical tasks are tasks that would seriously impair the overall objectivesof your job. More critical tasks are tasks -that, if not performed, wouldseriously impair the overall objectives of your job. 
Please note that we are interested in the criticality of each task
compared to all the other tasks you have performed in the last year.
~not just compare tasks in the same task grouping. 
Do not rate tasks you did not perform. Rate only tasks you have checkedin column 1 to the right of the task statements. 
When rating each task, use the following seven-point scale: 
Relative Criticality (Importance) 
1 • Very much below average
2 • Below average
3 • Slightly below average
4 • Average 
5 Slightly above average
E 
6 • Above average
7 • Very much above average 
LEGIBLY write the number of your answer in column 2 to the right ofthe task statements. Be sure your answers are in the right column. 
!£!:. example, a typical entry-level firefighter might rate "Ll9 Conducttours of firehouse for groups" a 1 (Very much below average) sincehis successful performance in the DCFD would not be as seriouslyaffected by failure to perform this task as compared to other tasks.On the other hand, "D37 Don and use mask" might be rated a 7
(Very much above average), since failure to "don and use mask" couldseriously impair his performance as a firefighter.

Not using these examples, choose two tasks from this Inventory that 
are good examples of tasks which are "Very much below average" and "Very much above average" in criticality for your job. Write a brief description of these tasks on the lines below and place its identifying 
code (letter and number) in the boxes provided, e.g., A 26, B 03.

7 =  Very much above average (in criticality)  D  rn  57-59  

Use these examples as reference points while you are making your ratings. Try to~ the entire seven-point range of the scale. 
Notice that the most critical tasks are not necessarily the tasks that are the most difficult or t~e-consuming for your job. 
NOW TURN TO PAGES 11 THROUGH 32 AND RATE THE RELATIVE CRITICALITY EACH TASK YOU PERFOR...'1ED.

APPENDIX G 
Directions for Conducting the DCFD 
Firefighter Task Inventory 


DFC 928 UNITED STATES CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION 
January 1976 
.Directions for Conducting the 
District of Columbia 
Firefighter Task Inventory 
Time Required: 2 -3 hours 
Materials Required by the Conductor: 
1. 
Copy of the D.C. Firefighter Task Inventory 

2. 
Copy of DFC 928 

3. 
Supply of pencils 

4. 
Supply of extra task inventories 


Materials Required by Each Participant: 
1. 
D.C. Firefighter Task Inventory 

2. 
Pencil 


GENERAL DIRECTIONS 
Security of Materials: The task inventory itself is nonsensitive; however,
the Privacy Act (PL 93-579) requires that completed inventories with 
identifying information be kept confidential. 
When you first arrive at the firehouse you should talk to the officer-incharge of the house. Briefly discuss your plans for explaining the inventory to the firefighters. Tell him that you will talk to him again after your presentation to the group. He will be expected to help the firefighters
if they have further questions after you leave the firehou•e, so tell him 
to be sure that he understands the directions before you leave. Tell him that if there is a major problem, the chief operator at the Communications Center will know where proj~ct_team leaders can be contacted. 
Tell the officer-in-charge that all officers and firefighters at or below the 
rank of Captain are to complete the inventories. This includes the officerin-charge. The ambulance technicians and all other technicians (drivers,aides, etc.) are to fill out the inventories also. 
Give the officer-in-charge the envelope in which he is to place all the completed inventories. He should make sure that each firefighter has puthis name on his inventory as he collects them. The envelopes will be collected on Friday. 
G·3 

SPECIFIC DIRECTIONS 

Although the Task Inventory is self-administering, participant understanding will be enhanced if you direct the participants through the instructions. Some participants tend to begin rating the tasks before they know exactly what to do. 
The directions you are to say or read are enclosed in the boxes below. They usually paraphrase and summarize the instructions given in the Task Inventory. 
You 	should be standing while reading the directions to the participants. 
When every one is assembled and you have distributed the Task Inventory and extra pencils for those withou~ any, SAY: 
You should now have a copy of the Firefighter Task Inventory and a pencil. Do not begin until I tell you to do so. This is not a test, but it is essential that you know precisely what to do. 
Then SAY: 
Please check quickly to see that you have a complete inventory. The pages are numbered 1 through 36. Look at each page number to be sure you are not missing a page, or have two duplicate pages. 
Pause while they check. If any are incomplete inventories, giveca new copy and mark the incomplete one so it won't be used again. Then SAY: 
Please open the Inventory to the first page and read the 1 Introduction to yourself. 
Allow everyone to finish reading, then SAY: 
Do you have any questions about the project in general? 
Briefly answer any general questions they might have about the project. Information that might be useful at this time will include the follown " ing arguments: 
1. 	Your efforts and participation in this project will help in developing tests for bringing more quality people in the District of Columbia Fire Department (DCFD). 
G-4 
2. 	The project has the appro~al of Fire Chief Burton Johnsonand is closely directed by a Supervisory Board ~f ~igh level
officials and officers. 
3. 	The materials presented in this Inventory have been thoroughly reviewed by members of the DCFD. 
4. 	(Should the question arise) The Task Inventory is used primarily to assist in the development of the examination for
the 	selection to the rank of Private. 
Officers 	(Sergeants,
Lieutenants, and Captains) are asked to complete the Inventory because their responses will significantly enhance thepicture of how a career in the DCFD progresses and may pro
vide information that can be helpful in improving the pro
motion examination process. 
5. 	Refer any technical questions or questions requiring alengthy answer to: Dr. Paul van Rijn ("Rhine") 632-4674Dr. Charles Martin 632-5428Ms. Sandra Payne 632-9790 
or,arrange to answer their questions at a later time. 
6. 	Reemphasize that this is not _!ill!· 
There a:re no rightor wrong answers. We are not interested in what work anyone individual performs. We are trying to find out what
work is being done in the DCFD. This Inventory is not
and oannot be an evaluation of that work. It only describes the work. 
When all 	questions have been answered, SHOW and DIRECT the participants
to the various parts of the Inventory. SAY: 
Let me quickly point out each of the main parts of the
task inventory. We will go through the directions for
each part later. 
pp 2-.3 	General background questions about you andyour job. 
pp 11-31 List of possible tasks performed in fire departments. The tasks are clustered into duty categories. Each page has four columns in which youwill put your ratings on the tasks. 
G-5 
pp 4-10 Specific instructions on how to mark the tasks 
you perform and on how to rate each task on three different rating scales (time, criticality, and difficulty). Note: .The order of the.three scales is not the same for everybody, so do not be concerned if you see another inventory with the scales in a different order. You will have to take care to record your ratings in the correct colums, since they may not be in the same order. 
p 32 	Space to write in and rate any additional tasks 
pp 33-35 	Instructions for rating the duty categories on the three scales. 
p 36 	Opportunity to express opinions and suggestions about the Inventory and the project. 
After pointing out the main parts of the inventory, SAY: 
Please make the following corrections on your copies of the inventory: 
p~ 6, 8, and 10--The number before the '~ery much above average" rating should be a 7 (seven), not a 1 (two). Make this change on each of the three pages. 
After everyone has made the corrections, SAY: 
Now turn to pages 2. and 3 and complete the Background Information Sheet. Follow the instructions carefully and write your answers legibly and with leading zeroes in the boxes provided. Ignore the numbers in the right margins. They are used in keypunching your responses. Complete these sheets now. 
Note: The social security number is optional. There is no need to point this out in your discussion as it is written on the Background Information Sheet. If someone brings it up, however, you can explain that they do not have to give their number but that it will make it easier for the information ~o be coded and matched up in later phases of the project. If anyole still objects, ask the participant to remember the ID number stamped after the name space for future participation in the project. 
When most participants have finished, SAY: 
Now read the instructions for Step 1 on page 4. Do not start writing. 
When everyone has finished reading, SAY: 
G-6 

These instructions tell you how to use Column 1 to the
right of each task statement. 
Mark only tasks that you have performed. Do NOT marktasks that you should have performed but did not ortasks that you wish you perform. Say how it is, not howsomeone says it should be. There will be many tasks thatyou do not perform. 
If you are unsure about the meaning of a statement, it isusually due to the fact that you do not perform the task,therefore leave it blank. 
Are there any questions about the instructions for this
part? 
Answer any questions and clarify misunderstandings. Then SAY: 
Now let us look at the instructions for the three rating
scales on pages 5 through 10. 
Remember the three ratings are not given in the same orderin each inventory. When you are doing your actual ratings,be sure to do them in the order in which they appear inyour inventory booklet, even if that order is differentfrom the order in which we discuss the ratings right now. 
Now, find and read the instructions for the R~lative TimeSpent Rating Scale. 
When everyone has had a chance to read the instructions, SAY; 
Are there any questions? 
G-7 
Answer any questions. Partieipants are most likely to have some difficulty understanding relative ratings. A simplistic example, comparing just three tasks is usually helpful, e.g., during the last year, what is the relative amount of time you spent bowling compared to playing tennis and jogging? (Remember, only tasks that are performed are rated.) Describe several situations where the three sports would have different relative ratings; ··' 
It is usually most helpful to admit to the participants .that it is not an easy task to compare several hundred tasks this way, and that initial impressions are usually most accurate. Discourage analytical deliberations. 
Then SAY: 
Now find the instructions for the Relative Criticality (Importance) Scale. Before you read them, make the following change in the first paragraph. The third sentence should read '~ore critical tasks are tasks that, if not performed, would seriously impair the overall objectives of your job." 
When you are sure everyone has made the correction, SAY: 
Now read the instructions for the Relative Criticality (Importance) Scale. 
When everyone has read the instructions, SAY: 
In this step you are asked to rate the importance of each of the tasks you checked in Step 1. 
Consider the seriousness of the consequences if you did not perform the task. 
Note again that you are only comparing tasks against each other. Thus if all your ·tasks are critical a rating of 1, "very much below average;" for a task does not mean that task is not ct-itical. It only means that it is less critical than the; .other tasks performed. For example, in a first aid situation "treating for eye injuries" is a critical task, but. in comparison to "restoring breathing" or "controlling bleeding" it should probably be rated "below average" in' criticality. 
G-8 

When evcryone,seems to understand the instructions, SAY: 
Now read the instructions for the Relative Difficulty Rating
Scale. 
When everyone has read the instructions, SAY: 
IAre there any qu.-tions? 
Answer questions. A useful example might be to compare the relative 
difficulty of making a hole in one in golf (very much above), a twentyfoot hook shot in basketball (average), and of hitting a backhand in tennis (very much below). 
Then SAY: 
On all the scales, BE SURE YOU MARK YOUR ANSWERS IN THE 
CORRECT COLUMN. Check this each time you begin a new page. 
Rate tasks on one seale at a time., Do them in the order your inventory directs. For example, first rate all tasks you checked on time, then go back and rate them all on crit
i~ality, and then rate them all on difficulty. 
Compare eaeh task with all the other tasks you perform. 
Do not rate tasks you do not perform. 
Try not to spend too much time deliberating over a rating.First impressions are usually most accurate. 
There is no need to have as many ratings "above average" as "below average", however, you are encouraged to use all seven points on the scale. Use your own examples of the two extreme points as reference points. 
G-9 

Then SAY: 
Now turn to pages 33-35. 
On pages 33-35 you are asked to write the percentage of time you spent on each duty and to rank the duties for criticality and difficulty. These are called duty ratings. 
Do these duty ratings, one at a time. Each duty rating should follow the task ratings of the same scale. For example, the duty-time rating should follow the relative time spent ratings of the tasks, to be followed by the task and then duty ratings for difficulty or criticality. 
Follow the instructions at the bottom of these pages with great care. 
Then SAY: 
When you have finished the Inventory, please complete the 
Comment and Suggestions page at the end of this booklet. 
Cheek all your responses to make sure they are legibly 
written and complete before you hand in this Inventory. 
Are there any more questions? 
Answer any questions as needed, then SAY: 
Please begin. Please feel free to work at your own pace. It should take you about 2-3 hours to complete this Inventory. It is best to complete it all at one time. On the back page, please indicate the extent to which alarms disrupted the completion of this Inventory.

Vocal Announcement of Fire Chief 

APPE't\"'DIX H 
Vocal Announcement of Fire Chief 
Early in 1975, I requested the l' .S. Civil Service Commission to revi.ew the Firefighter Entry Level Examination and that the developl!le.nt of a ne\\7 examination be considered. The Corrmission willingly accepted my request. 
Memorandum Ko. 56, Series 1975, established the Department's Supervisory Committee and identified some of the functions departmental personnel would be required to carry out for 
this request. 
On your shift today, members of the Commission will be visiting individual companies within the Department to administer and instruct you in completing the job analysis questionnaire. It js my wish that all uniformed personnel, from Private through Captain, undertake this special assignment and complete the questionnaire to the best of your ability, since it will determine what qualifications our future firefighter will be required to meet prior to appointment. Your participation in this task survey will take two to three hours. 
The questionnaire is of such importance, that I am cancellfng the drills for this shift and barring any fire alarms or other emergencies that you must meet, you should complete 
the questionnaire within the day. 
As with any other guest of the Department, the mewbers of the Commission shall be afforded every courtesy and your complete cooperation. 
In rrany instances 1 have called upon you to avail yourselves for needy causes regardless of 
the origin of the request, but in this instance, I ask that you dil:l.gently apply yourselves 
to a need of this profession, YOUR OWN.

District of Columbia Fire Department 614 H Street, N. W. Washington, D. C. 20001 
Dear 
Last February 4th and 5th, members of the U. S. Civil Service Commission, in cooperation with the D. C. Fire Department, visited all the Firehouses in the District of Columbia to administer a Firefighter Task Inventory. This effort was part of a joint project to develop new examinations for the D. C. Fire Department. Unfortunately, we were unable to obtain your input to this project at that time. Since it is extremely important that all officers through the rank of captain participate, we ask you to complete the attached inventory at this time and return the completed inventory (in a sealed envelope, if you like) via Departmental mail to Dr. Paul van Rijn c/o Mr. James Williams at F. D. Headquarters. 
Before completing the Task Inventory, please correct the following 
typographical.errors: 
1. 	
On pages 6, 8 and 10, "2 = " should read "7 = ". 

2. 	
In the Relative Criticality (Importance) Rating Scale instructions (page 5, 7 or 9), the third line of the first paragraph should read: "More critical tasks are tasks that, if not performed, would seriously impair the overall objectives of your job." 

3. 	
On the second page of the Criticality Rating instructions (page 6, 8 or 10) change the next to last paragraph to read: "NOW TURN TO PAGES 11 THROUGH 32 AND RATE THE RELATIVE CRITICALITY OF EACH TASK YOU PERFORMED." 


The inventory is self-administering, but care must be taken that all instructions are read and followed very ~refully.

APPENDIX Y 
Task Ratings of Five Ambulanc~ Members 
Five members of the sample reported that their present assignment was in an ambulance. In order to determine to what extent, if any, data from all entry level firefighters in ambulances might have affected the data, the top 25 percent of the tasks on the three scale. was combined in a matter identical to that for the entire sample. When this is done and compared with the entry level task list (the combination of the entry level firefighter and supervisory perceptions), only 23 new and unique tasks emerge. These are listed in Table 1. 
Only the tasks in duties A, B, and H are ambulance type tasks. They include driving an ambulance (AlO), some communicative and social interaction type tasks (Bl3, 14, 25, 27), and seven first aid tasks (A2, 3, 15, 19, 27, 28, 29). The ten remaining tasks are related more specifically to nonambulance aspects of firefighting. 
Although these data are based on only five raters, they nevertheless suggest that the entry level task list would change only minimally if ratings from all ambulance personnel had been included in the analyses. The ambulance data would have been diminished even further, since it would be averaged across all entry level firefighters in the sample. At best, all entry level firefighters in ambulance units represent a relatively small proportion of the entry level population.
