Description
A paid-on-call emergency medical technician is a homeowner or other resident of our Village or Townships who, just like you, has an interest in helping his or her neighbors whenever a fire, accident or other natural disaster strikes. As a paid-on-call department, the Mt. Hope-Funks Grove FPD depends upon the timely and determined response of these citizen members who selflessly serve their community when the alarm sounds.

Under the general direction of the Fire Chief and EMS Coordinator, a paid-on-call emergency medical technician is responsible for answering both fire and medical calls, protecting life and property, operating and maintaining EMS equipment, apparatus and quarters. The position requires extensive training in the use of apparatus, tools, and equipment and the performance of hazardous tasks under emergency conditions, which may require strenuous exertion under such handicaps as cramped surroundings and provide treatment to the sick and injured.
