43.02 Fire Protection — Florida Course Repo

Firefighters suppress fires, extricate people from vehicles and structures, handle hazardous materials — and spend most of their calls delivering emergency medical care. ⚠ A Florida median of $58,550, reached through an academy rather than a degree. ⚠⚠⚠ And the thing that actually determines what you earn: in Florida this is a DUAL credential. Departments hire Firefighter/EMTs and Firefighter/Paramedics, several pay for the paramedic programme, and one pays a $10,000 bonus for arriving with both. Plan the EMS half from the start.
