The City of Joliet Fire Department will soon be seeking qualified men and women to accept our challenge!
We are looking for individuals who can become a part of a Team dedicated to the improvement and well being of our community. We go where emergencies call us and we do whatever is necessary to protect and save lives, and bring the situation under control.

If you can stand with us and brave the disasters we confront, then you may be the person the Joliet Fire Department is looking for.
