Libertyville

Welcome to The Libertyville Professional Firefighters Association, Local 3892, web site. We are members of the International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) and the Associated Firefighters of Illinois (AFFI). Local members are sworn, full-time, qualified and certificated firefighters and Lieutenants employed by the Village of Libertyville.

All Libertyville firefighters and Lieutenants are hired from a valid register of eligible's established by the Libertyville Fire and Police Commissioners. In order to qualify for this list, an individual must first obtain state certification as Firefighter II and EMT-Basic. Then, one must go through a competitive hiring and extensive screening process. This process includes a written exam, oral interview, physical ability test, psychological exam and a detailed background check which includes a polygraph. Once hired, all firefighters must be certified as an EMT-Paramedic within 2 years. After these minimum qualifications are met, our members strive to continue our education and training in a variety of disciplines through our careers.

Libertyville Local 3892 was organized on January 18th, 1999. On that date, Libertyville firefighters voted with the Illinois Labor Relations Board (ILRB) and were officially recognized as a Collective Bargaining Unit by the State of Illinois. In September of 2008, the ILRB recognized the Lieutenants as eligible members and they voted to join. Today, the Local consists of 5 Lieutenants, 29 firefighters and two active retirees. We are currently working under our third contract which expires on April 30, 2012.
