Simply examining the salary level percent increase is a red herring.
A more accurate measurement of overall firefighter compensation can be performed by examining the overall Personnel Services line items in the firefighter budget. These line items cover not only salary expenses but overtime, holiday reimbursement, unused sick time payouts and other compensation.
From 2015 through the 2019 fiscal year, overall costs for these line items have increase by a total of 22.4%.
That result in an annual average increase of 5.6%.
