Best Answer

If you live in a big city (New York/Chicago) then yes. The pay is not great but it's usually enough to just get by.

If you don't live in a big city then no. Chances are your local fire department is a volunteer organization. I encourage everyone to be a firefighter whether paid or volunteer. It's feels great to help your community and it's fun as hell!

What is a paid on call firefighter?

Paid on call firefighters are considered a "go-between" position between volunteer firefighter (unpaid) and a career firefighter (paid). Typically, a paid on call firefighter wears a pager and is paid a daily rate to be available to respond to a call and receive pay while on a call. Most paid on call firefighters have regular jobs which are flexible to allow them to respond.
