Remember 9/11 when the government told them it was safe to breathe the asbestos death dust and sent them in there without protection for a week and most of them are dead now from respiratory cancers?
Yeah, they are worth more than a governor and even if they save one child or dog per year the salary is worth it imo.
Their base pay is shit and only OT makes it a living wage. It's nasty, dangerous work. The fumes that house fires produce are carcinogenic. They work a lot harder than you think.

Modern building codes didn't help Superior, Louisville and Boulder county a few days ago
And to mop up after suicide. That's the nastiest part of the job. Brain matter stinks like all hell

The fuck police don't get OT. Their salary is much like firefighters and relies on OT to make it work
