Multiple-Choice Test
The first part of the selection process is a video-based multiple-choice test. This test will measure your aptitude for skills that firefighter/EMTs use on a regular basis.
The test has four parts:
- Human relations
- Mechanical aptitude
- Math
- Reading
The Madison Fire Department has contracted with the National Testing Network to administer the exam online or at designated testing centers. Qualified candidates who apply through the City of Madison website will be provided specific instructions to test for free.
