About this exam

The Miami-Dade County Firefighter Examination is part of the hiring process for candidates seeking firefighter positions with Miami-Dade County Fire Rescue.

Eligibility requirements, application steps, assessment format, and later screening may vary by recruitment cycle. For the 2027–2028 cycle, use the official Miami-Dade County job announcement and recruitment materials to confirm who may apply and what each stage requires.
