(2) According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Sta-
tistics, nearly 78 percent of fire fighters age twenty- 
five to forty-four have pursued a higher education. 
(3) As modern fire fighter responsibilities have 
become increasingly complex and more dependent on 
advanced technology, achieving a highly educated 
fire service will enable fire fighters to carry out a 
safe and effective response. 
(4) According to the International City/County 
Management Association, the national average en-
trance salary for full-time fire fighters is $34,688, 
while the average maximum salary is $47,386. 
(5) The rising cost of college education, com-
bined with the relatively low wages earned by fire 
fighters, makes it difficult for many full-time fire 
fighters to afford student loan debt.
