The Fosterburg Fire Protection District is located in Madison County, Illinois. We cover a response area of approximately 30 square miles and protect a population of about 5,000 persons.
We are a combination department and maintain full-time staffing at both stations. In addition to the career staff we currently have 10 volunteer Firefighters.
Overall a good department to work at. Great working relations with mutual aid companies.
The department is a non transport BLS service so that’s a plus.
One draw back would be it is a two station department with one on duty at each station so it can be boring at times but they are on 48/96 shift schedule so that is a huge bonus for me.
The pay is average but with a very strong contract that is very beneficial to the firefighters. Along with a full compliment of insurance benefits.
