The two links in this thread do not give that information and I think that it's important. My stepbrother is a Nashville Fire Fighter with over thirty years experience and he's always had a second job, perhaps he's simply in the wrong place.

Pay in CA for LEOs and firefighters is pretty good.
An LA County firefighter on OT for a single day can make $1,600 a day (or two days, i forgot, but pretty sure it's one) according to one source I can't disclose. I don't know how accurate that number is, but even if it's close, it's a lot.
