Firefighter Consortium Testing
FIREHIRE® LLC is a service that helps match potential firefighter candidates to firefighter job oppenings. We administer entry level firefighter written exams for firefighter candidates, under contract with various fire departments and agencies. The agency then receives updated list of candidates who meet the agency's individual hiring critera such as EMT or Paramedic certification, minimum education standards, geographic location, and other qualifications. FIREHIRE® LLC manages these lists and maintains an accurate, up-to-date list of qualified firefighter candidates, reducing the time commitment and cost of hiring for fire agencies.
