Over the next 9 weeks, our recruits will be challenged both physically and mentally as they work toward becoming certified firefighters.

From fire behavior, PPE and SCBA to hose operations, ladders, search and rescue, forcible entry, live-fire evolutions, vehicle fires, and hazardous materials operations, they’ll develop the knowledge, skills, teamwork, and discipline required on the fireground.

The work has begun. Welcome F26-02 — let’s get after it! 🔥🚒

Did you know the Skokie Fire Department is an ISO Class 1 department? This is the highest Public Protection Classification awarded by the Insurance Services Office, a designation held by fewer than 1% of fire departments.

That rating reflects our commitment to training, staffing, equipment, and preparedness to provide the highest level of fire and emergency protection to the Skokie community.

Now, you have an opportunity to be part of that team.

If you’re looking for a rewarding career where you can make a difference, serve your community, and work alongside highly trained professionals, take the test to become a Skokie firefighter.

Answer the call. Join a great team. Serve a great community.
