About this exam
The Memphis Fire Department Firefighter Examination is part of the recruitment process for people seeking a firefighter position with the department. It is intended to assess whether applicants meet the knowledge and readiness requirements stated in the current hiring announcement; the full selection process may also include other screening steps. Eligibility rules, application requirements, and assessment stages can change between recruitment cycles, so candidates should use the City of Memphis and Memphis Fire Department recruitment materials as the authoritative source for the 2027–2028 cycle.
For firefighter exam preparation, review core fire-service concepts alongside any subjects named in the official notice. Useful areas include fire behavior and building hazards, personal protective equipment and SCBA operations, hose and nozzle use, fire streams, water supply, hydrants, and pump operations. The exact written-test format and scope should not be assumed from another city’s exam or an earlier hiring cycle. Build familiarity with these fundamentals, practice applying them to realistic questions, and check explanations to understand why an answer is correct.
