While I did my stint with the Bureau of Forestry, which began as a summer job, I was on the Commonwealth of PA 37.5 Hour Pay Schedule (S-7). That sums up to just about $41,039 per fiscal year, before taxes.
My job objectives were:
Fire Protection & Prevention team; and Park Safety.
That included Operation of the fire attack trucks, duties on the Bald Eagle National Reserve and the PA Grand Canyon @ Colton Point Fire Lookouts; Park Safety Demonstrations, hiking safety programs, wilderness first aid instruction, guiding boy scouts from the "Five Rivers Region" on proper trail safety, high angle rope rescue and EMT duty in the first aid cache.
When I started with MED-Trans Pittsburgh, I made 8.11 an hour, and I didn't work there for an entire year, so I don't know what I made. I took a pay raise and transfer to MED-Trans Cincinatti and worked there for six years with an annual income of $32,500.00 after taxes. They wanted me to transfer to National Med-Trans, Chicago and get my National Registry of Paramedics Cert; but I declined. I moved back here to Wellsboro/Colton Pt. and work for a private ambulance in the area of State College, PA for for $33,000.00/annual.
But I'll never make as much as I did with the Bureau of Forestry. I may move back into Forestry when my leg heals.

EMS? :lol: In Vermont? :lol: :lol:
I didn't realize that you could make money doing this stuff.
Really though, mostly all volunteer here. Not much money involved! In fact, I have had a few members come to me for references over the years to go on to Medic school. I give them what they want with only one stipulation; Do not come back, work a state where you can make something of yourself.
