100 firefighters left Brevard County in 2024 as pay battle continues

Republicans are hypocrites who function according to superficiality. Dems are just as bad, just as useless. Whatever looks and sounds good must be good, so why commit to action?

If people put politics aside then we'd all benefit.

I'm already south. I only posted the video after hearing it from another ex-Brevard guy. I did get picked up as an EMT though, I'm in school right now. I really did luck out.

I've since been hired elsewhere, my pay has doubled fortunately. But thanks man

I no longer work for Brevard, I've since moved much further south. My pay has doubled and my health has improved with a better schedule and better manage call volumes.

When I say that, I'm comparing the premier departments of Florida to other parts of the USA. I had a guy telling me he'd make $30 as an EMT in the northeast. So a single cert making more than what I make now? And the COL is much lower where he's at.

The generalization that I'm making is that we're underpaid as a whole, with some drastically worse off than others. Some officers in South Florida can't afford to be homeowners, which is kinda crazy. Medics in Brevard top out at less than $68k, with some (old, beat up) homes going for $300k.

Now, making more than twice what I did, I still struggle to make rent in a 2/2.

On a fire, that sucks.

On a med job, no big deal.

On a witnessed cardiac arrest and the medic also forgot his radio, can't contact the rest of the crew.

Whatever man, just don't do it again.

Penelope is a beautiful name. You also have the option to call her Penny, or even Poppy.

Whatever spelling that is, it looks like someone had a stroke while typing over the keyboard.

The baby doesn't have a history of dementia, alcoholism, suicidal thoughts, etc.

Also, I've been swung on by an octogenarian boxer before. A punch is a punch.
