How much money does a firefighter earn an hour? Please keep in mind that most firefighters are volunteers, and do not get paid. There is no way to give you a confirmed amount that they make per hour, and most work 24 hours â¦ and are off for 48 hours. The amount will vary from County, State, and (if applicable) the company they work for. Some firefighters can make lower than $30,000 per year, while some make $100,000 per year.
