At the higher end of the scale 25 percent of firefighters earned better than $28.90 per hour or $60,120 per year, and 10 percent reported earning $36.31 or more per hour, or $75,520 per year. It would seem logical to assume that the lowest-paid firefighters in the bureau's survey were those in entry-level positions.
Stachybotrys chartarum. Sometimes called S. chartarum or Stachybotrys atra, and popularly known as black mold, this toxigenic mold is a greenish-black fungus that requires a moist environment in which to grow and is most commonly found in flood-damaged buildings.
Black mold is a fungus that releases toxic spoors into the air that can cause respiratory illness and irritation. The responsibility for a mold-free environment in a rental unit ultimately falls onto the landlord. Between letting tenants know about past mold history and ensuring that conditions are inhospitable for mold to grow, landlords must stay in communication with tenants about black mold protections.
