Here’s a little trip down memory lane…
I think most remember how much their starting salary was. In July of 1980, it was about $14,100. This acceptance letter shows it being a little bit less in 1960!
In case you are wondering, today a TFS probationary firefighter starts at $69,847 for the first 7 months. A first-class Firefighter makes $107,458 -> Captains are at $128,950 and a District Chief is at $161,187 as of July 2022.
