Pay for any position should be determined by the number of qualified applicants for the position.

There is no shortage of qualified candidates for fire department jobs. So why is the pay so high? Contra Costa web site says firefighter 40 hours start at $6240.02 per month.

This post should be erased, all its doing is salting the names of fire fighters bacause there slinging mud back and forth with the public and not really making themseles look good but neither is the public. I thought you guys were supposed to be cool under pressure? everyone has the right to say anything they want and the gov is controlled, at least i thought, by the private sector right? we all pay into the system, we all have a right to speak.

PUBLIC: you have never had the experience or scare or loosing someone in a fire, be there while a mother deals with Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or sae a life, a house, a living being or property from fire.

To me pentions should have been dead a long time ago and if you make more than the private sector you sould be expected to save more than the private sector has to. Fiscal tradition is dead. no one is changing minds on this post. were just making eachother sound ignorant.

hey, if i was making loot i would be pissed that someone was attacking my paycheck too. I dont care who you are. we get use to what we get but the thing is in an economy thats going down the crapper, in order to preserve our way of life we all need to make sacrifices. possibly not as extreme as everyone wants.

Cynthia, with you and d-bag Sattui calling firefighters lazy, you should expect outright venomous attacks. This is a career so many people have chose for the rest of their lives and you criticize and mock them. You and your buddy Sattui can be seen as venomous attackers, so keep an eye out for hypocrisy.

What’s outright venomous is the attacks the wining FF have launched on Mr Sattui. I’ve never seen such a gang of hoodlums parading as professionals in all my life.
The truth is that just about every post denigrating Mr. Satuui comes from a FF or his wife.
I logged onto the Satuui Winery site and order wine from him, to show him my support. Those FF should be ashamed of themselves and the ring leaders should all have been terminated on the spot.

p.s. Fireman went out in the 70′s… If you don’t notice the color and gender mix in that profession these days then take off the femenist, racist glasses. They are filtering out the truth.
