This from Prospect Heights Fire Protection District Fire Chief Drew Smith:
The Board of Fire Commissioners has approved a new testing process to establish an eligibility list to fill full-time firefighter-paramedic vacancies. The one-page application and legal notice can be accessed on our website.
Please note that while you must be 21 years of age to accept an offer of full-time employment, there is no age restriction to apply and test. With the current collective bargaining agreement expiring at the end of this year, I anticipate that negotiations will result in higher wages.
If you are already a full-time firefighter-paramedic elsewhere and would consider retiring from that job to take a job with us, those that are TIER 1 in the pension will start here as TIER 1 required by law.
