How can I find out about working for QFD?The Quincy Fire Department is an Equal Opportunity Employer. The Quincy Fire Department will again be testing for applicants on Saturday, May 7, 2011. Applications will be available Monday, March 7, 2011 at Quincy City Hall or on the City's website: www.quincyil.gov. You will need to click on the link under the "What's New" heading in the right column for the correct application. Inquiries should be made to Jona Holtschlag, Secretary to the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners at 217-228-4545. You may also check for job opportunities online by going to the Commission's webpage. The hiring and promotional process is proctored by a three member Board of Fire and Police Commissioners. They continually maintain a hiring list, which is the sole source of new firefighters. This list, which is replaced every two years, contains the names of candidates who are ranked using a series of objective tests.
To gain a spot on the hiring list, a candidate must fill
out an application, and then successfully complete a
written aptitude test and a task-related physical
fitness test. Performance on these tests are graded and
used to rank candidates within the list.
