Peoria Heights Fire Department


4901 N Prospect Rd, Peoria Heights, IL (12.3mi)

Skills:

Skilled Craft or Trade, Healthcare/Medical, Interpersonal

Causes:

Disaster Relief, Poverty, Veterans & Military Families

The Peoria Heights Fire Department was originally chartered in 1917 to provide fire suppression services for the village. Over the years, the department has now grown to provide fire suppression response, fire prevention education, technical rescue response (vehicle accidents, elevator rescues), and emergency medical services to all citizens within the Village of Peoria Heights. The department runs approximately 1200 calls per year out of two stations, which on average equates to approximately 3.3 calls per day. Unlike a full career fire department that is staffed solely by full-time personnel, Peoria Heights utilizes a “combination” structure which is composed of full-time personnel, part-time or “stipend” personnel, and volunteer responders. Full-time personnel work 24 hour shifts with 48 hours off while stipend personnel work 12 hour blocks of time (7a-7p/7p7a). Volunteer responders volunteer their time to run calls for service as they come in, often responding to the fire station from their personal residence. It takes a large amount of dedicated personnel to answer those calls, and we are continually recruiting new members to ensure that we can provide the best protection that we can to the village. New volunteers enter the department on a probationary status which lasts for 12 months. During this time, probationary firefighters are introduced to every facet of the fire department. An extensive training program gives the probationary member the skills needed to function as a full member of the fire department. Training includes radio communications, structural firefighting tactics, fire apparatus engineering and operation, auto extrication, rescue operations, first responder medical training, and many other topics. All members are required to attend at least 36 monthly drills and respond to a minimum of 10% of calls during each quarter. Veteran members assess the attitude, personality, and skills of the probationary member during all phases of training and probation. After the 12 months have passed, the supervisory staff of the department views the progress of the probationary member and decides whether to promote that member to the position of Firefighter, extend his/her probation, or recommend removal from the department. Your probationary period will require a major commitment in time and effort. Initially, you will be performing a limited number of duties on the fireground and may not be responding on first-out apparatus. As time goes on and your knowledge grows, these restrictions will slowly be lifted. While this period is difficult and sometimes boring, the department is looking hard at the intensity of your commitment. You will be a part of a team of highly trained individuals that depend on each other. You will be providing a service to the community that few people are prepared to undertake. You could make a real difference in people’s lives. You will know that you are doing something that really matters. | Requirements: 1. Must be at least 18 years of age by date of hire and possess either a high school diploma or GED. 2. Must live within 3 miles “as the crow flies” from one of the two fire stations in Peoria Heights AND reside within the corporate limits of Peoria County, Illinois - Fire Station 1 is located at 4901 North Prospect Road in Peoria Heights. - Fire Station 2 is located at 1633 East Gardner Lane in Peoria Heights. - Special consideration may be given to those that live outside of the mileage limit. We encourage people to still apply even if they are outside of this limit for us to review on a case-by-case basis. 3. Must be able to pass a physical, drug screening, and criminal background screening as well as an oral interview. 4. Must be willing to devote time to assist the public in various capacities, including responding to emergency incidents that may involve environments that have an immediate danger to life and health. 5. Must be willing to devote time to training, public education, and other department-sponsored events to better prepare you and the fire department for emergency incidents. | Categories: Firefighter, EMT
