Thanks for your reply! Just various salary and cost-of-living websites, and general searches, looked at EMT forums, etc. I was hoping there might be someone here who either has actual experience or knows someone who does, so as to get the real story on the local market. I also called the Montana licensing dept. with other questions, and slipped this into the conversation. They didn't have much info other than that rural areas are all volunteer (which I had assumed).
