FIRE ACADEMY
The online exam will determine the top group of candidates to move forward to the next step in the recruitment process. There will be a minimum passing score of 70% for the online exam. All hiring decisions will be conditional upon successfully completing the pre-employment selection process. Once you are offered and accept employment with one of our agencies, you will attend fire academy training.
All of our agencies utilize the South King County Fire Training Consortium (SKCFTC) to provide fire academy training for new recruits. SKCFTC holds two (2) fire academies per year.
Upcoming Fire Academies
