I can't imagine doing their job for $28K. The services they provide are far too valuable and the risks far too high for such a paltry amount. Firefighters and EMTs deserve to earn far, far more and we should all be grateful that they are so dedicated.
As to TV first responders earning less than counterparts, I can't say I've heard this before but it doesn't particularly surprise me. Like many other positions here, the benefits (mainly the Charter School) outweigh the lower salary for so many TV employees. Can't say that is the right thing, but it does seem to be THE thing.
