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.
Overtime, double time etc. Forced overtime and optional. Firefighters in my town work 72 hours on and then 96 hours off. But with the forced and optional overtime the hours go up alot. And also the pay is alot higher then it is for EMS here. One of the main reasons alot of people switch over to fire.
