Community-maintained data. Compensation information may be incomplete, outdated, or incorrect. Always confirm current pay, benefits, and employment terms directly with the hiring department. Nothing here is “verified” unless a department maintains its own page.

Statewide salary averages are intentionally not shown until enough comparable data exists — firefighter pay mixes base salary, scheduled overtime, and incentives that are not directly comparable.

Start with the map

The interactive Texas map is the fastest way to find departments near you, compare what they pay, and see how fresh each report is. Markers show data condition at a glance — current, older, conflicting, department-maintained, or missing.

How it works

1 · Anyone can contribute

Verified contributors submit pay, steps, and schedules — no owner approval needed for routine updates.

2 · Consensus, not guesswork

Matching reports build confidence automatically. Conflicting reports stay visible, never hidden.

3 · History is preserved

Every submission is a revision. Old pay plans are never erased.
