Firefighter Recruitment Exam

Courtyard by Marriott

Carrollton, TX 75007

PAT: Saturday, January 17, 2026 @ 10:00am

The PAT will be at the Quad Cities training tower at 13323 Hutton Dr. Dallas. This is behind Farmer's Branch Fire Station 3. The NW corner of Hutton Dr. and Valley View Ln. In Google Maps the address shows Dallas 75234.

The practice PAT is not required but I would encourage everyone to be there if you can. It will get you familiar with the set-up, techniques, and the process so you will be ready to go for the real thing.

After registering for the exam online, candidates will be emailed exam instructions and the remainder of the hiring process.
