Thank GOD that I live in West Palm Beach, FL. I am taking the EMT Finals on May1, 3, 5 and from there I am going to the fire academy. Fire-Fighter EMT-B's working for the county here start Off making $40,000 - $45,000 per year. Fire-Fighter EMT-P's make $48,000 - $55,000 per year. Working for the City is roughly about $5,000 - $10,000 less. I don't see how some of you are making it on your salaries. While the EMT-B's make about the same as what I have seen posted on this board, why stop there, become a medic or an RN. But the Number ONE RULE IS: LOVE WHAT YOU DO OR DO SOMETHING ELSE!!!! Then pay won't matter so much.
