Career, CPAT, Fitness & Salary Tools – Firefighter Readiness Pillar (Pacing, BMI, Pay, Scheduling)

A Simple Readiness Workflow

1. CPAT planning: build pacing strategy (CPAT Pacing), then train the weak event.
2. Fitness baseline: use BMI as a simple check (BMI) but prioritize performance metrics and training compliance.
3. Career context: understand salary ranges and caveats (Salary Comparison).
4. Scheduling: plan shift rotations and family time (Shift Calendar).

Common Mistakes

• CPAT pacing without training: pacing helps only if you’ve trained the bottleneck event.
• Over-trusting BMI: treat it as a rough indicator, not a fitness verdict.
• Salary without methodology: show update date and context to avoid thin pages.
• Calendar not shared: export/share features drive repeat usage and returning visitors.

Checklist

• Each tool page links to its guide + this pillar.
• Each guide links to: tool + this pillar + 1 related tool.
• Salary pages include methodology, update date, and FAQs.
