The detail from which the above averages were calculated is below. The lists only include those who worked the entire year; those hired or terminated in 2021 were excluded. In calculating averages for FIREFIGHTER, I excluded anyone with regular wages less than $50,000.

 

Note: A 2010 study found that of the 51 largest communities in Michigan, Lansing had the highest per capita cost for fire protection. (Story here)
