FYI, according to the NFPA,

"In 2017, a total of 60 firefighters died while on-duty in the U.S. The largest share of deaths occurred while firefighters were operating at fires (17 deaths)."

I tried to Google the safety records for The Villages, but couldn't find any data. But, if you base the pay on danger, then roofers and landscapers should be paid more than firemen.
