Cushman a starting firefighter does not make 72k to start that salary is after you become 1st class private and that takes 6 years.

Use the number 48k to start please that’s what new hires make. Just another reason math wiz Cushman’s numbers are off.

Historically maybe 10 guys made lieutenant in 10 years the average is more like 15 years to make Lieutenant.

So maybe your 40 years old now you want to get promoted to Captain it will probably be another 10 years so most are lucky to make Captain at 30 years with some being the exception and making battalion chief
