Federal fire career structure (NWCG / DOI). Time to advance varies by experience, openings, and qualifications.

What you'll actually make

$57,670–$81,343/yr

base salary per year Β· GW-6–7

GW is the wildland firefighter pay scale (new in 2024 β€” it pays more than the older GS scale). The number is the grade β€” higher means more pay and responsibility.

That's the floor. Here's how a year stacks up once overtime (1.5Γ—) and hazard pay (+25% on the fireline) during fire season are added on top of the base salary:

Slow season β€” few, short fires β€” little deployment

Base$69,507
Overtime+$15,037
Hazard+$2,506
Total$87,050

Typical busy season β€” regular fires, steady overtime

Base$69,507
Overtime+$35,087
Hazard+$5,848
Total$110,442

Big fire year β€” heavy deployment all summer

Base$69,507
Overtime+$65,162
Hazard+$10,860
Total$145,529

Estimate, based on the midpoint of this posting's pay range (for salaried roles, overtime is figured at the hourly-equivalent rate). The overtime hours β€” roughly 300 / 700 / 1,300 in a full 6-month season, scaled to the months you pick β€” are modeled on reported earnings.

Want the full pay picture? See how much wildland firefighters make by grade: base, overtime, hazard, incident pay, and per diem.

The big money is for fire work β€” not desk time.

These rules are the same for everyone, rookie to supervisor. Base pay comes from real job postings; the rules below come straight from federal law:

Overtime β€” time-and-a-half

For hours over 40 spent fighting fire. On a fire, even supervisors earn full overtime β€” regular office hours don't count.

βœ“ Federal law: Firefighter Pay Reform Act Β· 5 U.S.C. 5542 β†’

Hazard pay β€” +25%

An extra quarter on top of your pay β€” but only for hours actually on the fire line. Not for office or standby time.

βœ“ Federal law: Federal hazard-pay rules Β· 5 CFR 550 β†’

Incident pay β€” up to $9,000 a year

A daily bonus when you're sent to a multi-day fire away from your home base.

βœ“ Federal law: Incident Response Premium Pay Β· 5 U.S.C. 5545c β†’
