How do I apply for a Fire Fighter Position?

Every 2 years the Fire and Police Commission open the application process for the Fire Department. The City of East Moline must follow Illinois State Statutes (Public Act 098-0760/Sec. 5 Illinois Municipal Code) which requires the city to create an eligibility list which is active for 2 years. When the Fire Department has an opening, they must select candidates from the eligibility list. Candidates who have completed an application and submitted it to the city, must attend the CPAT (Candidate Physical Agility Test). The CPAT testing is offered over an 8 week period for training and practice. For those who pass the CPAT, a written test follows. Scores from the written test are compiled to form a list. Preference points are available according to Illinois State statutes. CPAT testing has been an nationally approved standardized testing program.
