About the CFD

History, mission, and what we stand for.

ℹ️

Open Recruitment

The Chicago Fire Department is actively accepting applications. No prior experience required — we train you from scratch.

Our Mission

The Chicago Fire Department exists to protect life and property from fire, medical emergencies, and other disasters. Every member of CFD is expected to show up with professionalism, dedication, and a willingness to put in the work.

We simulate real-world CFD operations as closely as ER:LC allows. Our protocols are modeled on actual NFPA standards, adapted for the server environment.

History

The CFD was established as one of CCRP's founding departments in 2024. Since then it has grown into one of the most active departments in the community, running daily patrol sessions and regular large-scale incident training.

The department has continuously evolved its SOPs, rank structure, and training program based on member feedback and real-world research.

Values

Courage — We run toward the problem, not away from it.
Discipline — We follow procedure. Every time, no exceptions.
Teamwork — No one handles a scene alone. We operate as a crew.
Accountability — We own our mistakes and learn from them.

Rank Structure

CFD uses a tiered rank system. Promotions are merit-based and require supervisor sign-off.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about joining and operating in CFD.

No. The CFD Academy covers everything you need to know. We start from the basics and work up. All that's required is that you're willing to learn and follow instructions.
Applications are typically reviewed within 24–48 hours. If accepted, the academy takes around 1–2 sessions depending on your schedule.
Multi-department membership may be possible at higher ranks with leadership approval. New members should focus on one department first.
Members are expected to attend at least 2 sessions per week. Missing sessions without filing an LOA can result in activity warnings or removal from the department.
Promotions are based on performance, activity, and supervisor recommendation. There is no time-lock on ranks — a motivated member can advance quickly if they put in the work.
Once you reach Firefighter II, you can express a preference for Engine, Truck, or Medic. Assignment depends on department needs and certifications. Hazmat requires additional certification.
Start with your immediate supervisor (Lieutenant or Captain). If the issue isn't resolved, escalate to the Battalion Chief or Deputy Chief. For serious issues, contact CCRP Senior Staff.
