Our group of 40 dedicated paid-on-call firefighters, do the best they can with their <br /> time allotted to the fire department. They train on average 82 paid hours per year. This doesn't <br /> include any external training that a firefighter might take on their off nights or weekends. Many <br /> train more than this to keep their national and state certifications current. They are paid for their <br /> normal Monday scheduled trainings and calls. Their average yearly income from these calls and <br /> trainings is $2,140.29 and the officer and coordinators receive on average another$982.88 for <br /> their extra time they put into being a paid-on-call firefighter. The National Fire Protection <br /> Agency estimates that in 2011 alone, the time and labor of volunteer and paid-on-call firefighters <br /> saved the American taxpayers$139.8 billon. <br />
