Employment Opportunities with the Oak Brook Fire Department:

The hiring of firefighter/paramedics is under the authority of the Oak Brook Board of Fire and Police Commissioners and is done by competitive examination. Upon completion of the examination process, successful candidates are ranked by score on an eligibility list in descending order by score. The Fire Department will then seek candidates from the eligibility list when vacancies occur. The eligibility list, once posted, is current for two (2) years. The current eligibility list will expire January 3, 2009. Approximately four months prior to the expiration date of the eligibility list, the Board of Police and Fire Commissioners will begin the examination process to establish a new eligibility list. Information regarding that process will be posted on this site and will be available from the College of DuPage Fire Science Department. The Village of Oak Brook participates in the College of DuPage Firefighter Hiring Consortium. Information of that process and other employment opportunities in the Fire Service can be found at the College of DuPage website, www.cod.edu\fire .
