With the approval of the Wildland Firefighter MQP Medical Exam and Self-Certification Statement and BP Check forms, the new MQP is going to be implemented on a Regional roll-out for anyone seeking an arduous duty fitness qualification with the FS. Once fully implemented, those seeking an arduous duty red card with the FS will no longer complete the HSQ. Only those seeking light or moderate duty will complete the HSQ at that point on.
