Yeah, like our Kalfornia firefighters... Avarage wage is up to $225k/year in the Bay Area, retire at 50 with 85% of your last years earnings for their pension. And they get to do labor trades throught their carier so they never use any vacation time then take up to one years un-used vacation as pay in their last year of employment boosting the last years salary.
That takes a retired 50 year old to $382,500/ year for his pension. Not bad in a resetion! I wonder why the state is going broke.....

entry-level firefighters/paramedics to $51,000, up from $44,000 a year.
Top-level firefighters will see pay go from $62,000 to $71,600. Pay for captains will rise from the current $74,000 to $88,000.

I think your numbers are off a little see below. Are you sure you have your facts right? If fire fighters got paid that much everybody would be at the door for them. I know a lot of people sit back and say oh GOVT employees are rich or GM workers are rich and they truely dont know the facts. Below is numbers from San Diego and LA's isnt much different. I find it hard to beleive they make that much. If they do thats crazy. Although Id rather pay a fire fighter that much money instead of a pro athlete.

Im kind of thinking this guy is maybe talking about a chief of the city or some other high ranking individual. Firemen just dont make that much. Some people like to spout off about what they make and frankly will like. But no firefighter is making 285 your talking more than congressmen and almost as much as the POTUS.
