Quote:Capitol Improvement purchases don't come from the same budget as personnel salaries. $1,000,000 would only pay for 10 personnel for 2 years (figuring a salary and compensation package with a combined value of $50,000/person). Unfortunately, that's not even enough to staff one station with four men per shift (assuming minimum rig staffing is three).
FWIW, a firefighter in Edison tops out at just shy of $107k after 7 years. That's before any longevity or other stipends they may or may not get. From what I remember it was a bit of a mixed up department with some pretty thin staffing considering the population.
