About this exam
The Austin Fire Department Fire Cadet Examination is part of the entry pathway for people seeking a Fire Cadet position with the Austin Fire Department in Texas. It helps assess candidates during a hiring process; eligibility requirements and the stages used to select applicants can vary by recruitment cycle. For the 2027–2028 cycle, check the current City of Austin and Austin Fire Department recruitment announcements for the official requirements, test details, deadlines, and any additional selection steps.

Confirm which subjects are included in the current exam materials rather than assuming every topic appears in every cycle. Prepare by learning concepts, applying them to realistic scenarios, and practicing under timed conditions. Free online multiple-choice practice can help you check understanding, but it should supplement—not replace—official recruitment information and focused review.
