Chicago is fire based and as far as ive heard (from when i was in school) no outside ride alongs allowed (only CFD students allowed.) its rather hard to get ride alongs anywhere around Chicago and the burbs. either you have to be in a certain school or lucky with what time you go to sign up for the ride alongs.

One of my preceptors was a chicago fire medic. They are integrated and has been previously stated, they dont really do ride time. Also, these are the guys who stole the State Test for Illinois and have put us all through hell and contributed greatly to the poor quality of many EMTs and Medics here in the Land of Lincoln. Find yourself a good ambulance agency from one of the hospitals and ride with them.
