Mount Prospect, unlike many fire
departments, still maintains a group of volunteer, or paid-on-call (POC)
firefighters. The department currently has 20 POC members who meet every
week to train, run drills, and support the full-time members during major
incidents. To qualify to become a POC applicants must:
- Live within the boundaries of the Village of Mount Prospect;
- Be a minimum of twenty-one (21) years of age;
- Complete a Physical Ability Examination given by the department; and
- Pass a written examination, physical examination, and background
investigation.
If you are interested in applying to become a POC please fill out the
Village Employment Application which can be downloaded
here. Applications can be
dropped off at the Fire Administration Offices (112 E. Northwest Highway) or
mailed to the following address:
