Hialeah firefighters seeking promotions will be required to retake their qualifying exams.
This comes almost a month after Hialeah fire chief Willians Guerra resigned, following a Miami Herald report detailing allegations of at least one candidate cheating on the oral exam last year.

The retake is scheduled for March 2025.
