Overtime for fighting fires outside of the county is reimbursed to the cities, including administrative and overhead fees, in such a way that there is NO COST to the cities and towns for this common overtime pay. Like many private sector employees, many firefighters depend on this extra work to help make ends meet.
Firefighters are trained EMTs. But if you are a firefighter/paramedic,you will probably get paid more, and there is much room for improvement so your salary will grow. No, you can not make 90k a year and almost never leave your station. Small town firefighters do not make as much as big city firemen.
