Citizens Fire Academy

Thank you for your interest in the second class of the Citizens Fire Academy.  The mission of our citizens fire academy is to create a well-informed individual from our community by describing the various functions and services the Schiller Park Fire Department offers.  Our academy is designed to educate the participant through a series of classroom and hands on trainings.  The course will be fun and entertaining, challenging and intense, an overview of your fire department and its operation.  This course is not designed for firefighters, though it will provide a good introduction.

The deadline to apply for the 2005 academy is May 6.  Applications are now being accepted.  Watch this link or the Village newsletter (the Communicator) for future announcements and sessions.  Classes will be conducted on Monday's from 6:30 to 9:00 PM from May 16 through July 11.
