Champaign/Urbana FDs

Anyone know any scuttlebutt when these two might be testing again?

[Briggs11]

The last I heard, Urbana might have a test in November.

* this is just a rumor and the city has not said anything yet so take it however you may.

I heard that bloomington is accepting laterals, I dont know if that helps you or not, but thats all that ive heard.

For what it's worth, here's the scoop on Bloomington:

Fire Fighter Applications Suspended

The City of Bloomington hiring process for Fire Fighters has been suspended until a new process is developed in compliance with the changes made with Public Act 097-0251.

Wonder what they need to bring into compliance?

I can see why they suspended the process. It appears that there are many changes that will affect departments and districts across the state.

BFD's process was suspended because they maintained 2 lists, lateral and initial. It is my understanding that the state act now requires one list and one list only. The scuttlebutt I hear is that a new testing process should be rolled out late this year or early next
