65 is alright, yeah I heard they work a stupid amount of OT sometimes

Nice!

thanks man. I should be good to go. Been through the process locally once before 2 years ago.



Here a firefighter 4th class makes $58k their first year. Firefighter 1st class makes about 90k. Takes 4-5 years to go from 4th class to 1st class. And yeah, it's pretty hard to get in to for sure. It's definitely not for everyone.

Captains make 17% higher wage than a 1st class, District chief makes 12% more than captain and platoon chief makes 7% more than district. That's what I was told by a retired platoon chief who also stood in as deputy chief for a bit.



Nice, where for?

Thanks everyone else for the grats
