There were three Lieutenants who participated in the Captains exam and there were 15 Fire Fighters who participated in the Lieutenants written exam. The Captains Oral Assessment was held August 14, 1999. The Commissioners will need to make a ruling on the protests of the Captains & Lieutenants written examination. The Clerk indicated that she received a letter from the Ohio Fire Fighters Association, which had the recommendations for each of the protests filed. She read aloud the recommendations for each of the protests: Captains written exam protests, Question # 153, The pages cited in this protest make the point that at temperatures Above 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit steel loses its strength. This protester wants the answer to be 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit which is not a correct answer. Chief Lee recommends that both choices "C" and choice "D" be accepted as correct answers to this question. E. Cummings motioned to deny the protester's request to have "B" as the correct answer for question #153 and go with the recommendation of Chief Lee to make both "C" & "D" on test question #153 correct. The motion was seconded by, J. Thomay and unanimously approved. Protest # 182, The protester is correct when he states " The manifold is for loading and unloading. "However, the converse is not true. A Loading/unloading station is not necessarily a manifold. It is recommended that this protest be disallowed.
