https://www.jobapscloud.com/SF/sup/bulpreview.asp?R1=CCT&R2=...

Entry Level (H-2) Firefighter

$78,676.00 - $121,420.00/year

Entry level and before any overtime. If you look at individual salaries you see things like one fire fighter making 220K in overtime alone(!). Other make less, but lots and lots are making 300-400K:
