A Quiz About Firefighters: Uncover the Real Heroes Behind the Flames
What was the median yearly income for professional firefighters in the U.S. in 2017?
Correct Incorrect If you thought firefighters earn big money, think again. In May 2017, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the average annual salary for a firefighter was $49,080, which amounts to just over $23 per hour. This pay is comparable to that of a forklift driver at a road construction site, making firefighters true heroes for what they earn.
