Elgin Fire Dept.

[FFjed11]

I volunteer on a dept. in Peoria while i'm at school, but since I have a decent paying job (for a college student) I stay up here for the summer. I was told by a friend who is also a nurse that Elgin is hireing part-time. Does anybody have any info on how to get started? It would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, JD

It doesn't mention anything about it in their application packet online. Not 100% sure on that though as I am not there locally. I wasn't aware of it though when I was living there or haven't heard of it from friends and family that are on the surrounding area FDs currently.

I sent in an application to Elgin last week and if they're like any of the other Police/Fire departments I've applied to I should have a letter acknowledging receipt of application so I'll post back if they say anything regarding residency, but as said nowhere in the application was there anything that mentioned residency requirements. I live in Yorkville, which is basically around Sugar Grove, Aurora, Plainfield, Oswego area, about 45-1hr from Elgin.
