Can I be fired for filing for bankruptcy?

No. The Bankruptcy Code forbids employers from firing or disciplining a worker solely for filing bankruptcy or for not paying a debt discharged in bankruptcy. Generally employers will not even be aware you have filed bankruptcy. It is more likely that an employer would learn of your financial problems if you did not file bankruptcy and continued to receiving harassing creditor calls or a wage garnishment.
