A. Participation In Illinois Fire Protection Training Act: The village hereby elects to participate in the programs provided in the Illinois fire protection training act.
B. Requirements For Firefighters:
1. Before an individual may volunteer as a firefighter, he or she must have been certified by the Illinois state fire marshal as a firefighter II, as having successfully completed an approved training course as provided in the act.
2. The firefighter II certification must be completed by the trainee within his or her probationary period of six (6) months. Failure of any trainee to complete such basic training and certification within the required period will render that individual and the village ineligible for reimbursement funding for basic training for that individual in the fiscal year in which his or her probationary period ends. The individual may later become certified without reimbursement. (Ord. 2014-1425, 12-16-2014)
