The Minas Gerais Fire Department has published the announcement for its upcoming contest, offering a total of 342 positions for the roles of soldier and officer. Candidates are required to have higher education and can expect salaries to reach R$ 11,500, depending on the position. As part of the selection process, candidates will participate in written exams and physical aptitude tests, ensuring they meet the necessary requirements for these critical roles.

The contests for soldiers will be conducted in key locations across the Triângulo Mineiro region, namely Uberlândia and Uberaba, on scheduled dates in July 2026. The exams will not assign vacancies to specific cities, indicating that successful candidates may be assigned to any unit within the Fire Department after completing their training. This approach allows for flexible deployment and strengthens the overall operational capacity of the fire services in the state.

Given the competitive nature of these opportunities, the Fire Department's recruitment drive is expected to attract a broad array of applicants, particularly in regions that require enhanced firefighting and emergency response capabilities. Aspiring firefighters will need to prepare diligently for both the written and physical assessments to secure their place in the highly regarded and essential service of the Fire Department.
