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.

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.
Yellow mold is a fungus that normally grows in dark and damp places. Several species of this mold exist, with some belonging in genera that are toxic or widely known to destroy wood. It is usually obvious when a building has a yellow mold infestation because the mold's color is often bright and difficult to miss. The color of this type of mold does vary, however; for example, some can appear almost white, and many are at least tinged with white.
