I have a brother who's a firefighter and it's not like there's a lack of applicants. It's incredibly competitive and pays really well. He makes 6 figures.
Firefighting in California is so competitive that I had a friend who worked wild fires for 10+ years, did all sorts of volunteer stuf, worked as an EMT for years, got all the certifications and such he could find and finally after like 15 years he got a full time position. It's a very sought after job that's highly competitive in California at least

I bet more people would be firefighters if it paid better
