Part-Time Firefighter Jobs, explained
- How many part-time firefighter jobs are open in Illinois?
- 41 part-time postings are open right now at 30 departments in Illinois on FireJobs. Members see the pay, closing date and application link for each.
- How do part-time firefighter jobs work?
- Part-time firefighters cover scheduled shifts, often 12 or 24 hours, at departments that mix career and part-time staff, or respond from home as paid-on-call members. Pay is hourly or per call. Most postings require Firefighter I and an EMT license, and many part-timers use the role to build experience while applying for career positions.
- Can a part-time firefighter job lead to a full-time position?
- Often. Combination departments frequently fill career openings from their part-time ranks, and the shift experience, references and certifications transfer to any application. Postings sometimes say so directly.
- What do part-time firefighters get paid?
- Postings on FireJobs typically publish an hourly rate, commonly in the range of $15 to $30 an hour depending on region and certification, with paramedics at the top of the range. Paid-on-call departments pay per response or per hour on scene. The posting is the source for the exact figure.
