You have to use FBExport tool to generate a dump with inserts

FBExport.exe -D "c:\DB\WL.FDB" -U user –P password -Si -V TEST -F test.out
Where: 
Si – means “export to SQL inserts” format
V – table name to export
F – output filename

Be careful with dates in mysql. Export in the correct format. To export db in custom date format use:

$> FBExport.exe -D "c:\DB\WL.FDB" -U user –P password -Si -V TEST -F     test.out -J "Y-M-D" -K "H:M:S"
Where: 
J  - date format
K – time format

To import date to mySQL use SOURCE command:

$> mysql --user=root --password=password
$> use  database_name
$> SOURCE  c:\export\table_name.out
