Fire Power Oilfield Firefighting is hiring. As is HSE integrated. Check out their sites. If you don't know what they're about, I'd suggest reading the previous threads on this site...they make for some interesting reading.

Last I heard for oilfield firefighting, it was in and around $21.50 / hr.

FYI - and someone else better informed can correct me here...but I believe the money in oilfield was in the overtime (and I understand that there was A LOT of overtime). Recently there have been some changes in legislation regulating the amount of hours the firefighters can work (I believe it is with regard to hours in the truck). So I am assuming that the overtime money will be reduced significantly...there is quite a bit of back and forth (and some good info) on this subject on other threads on this site...you should check them out.

I hear refinery firefighting is much better pay and better hours...no experience backs up that statement. Refinery work is what I am trying to get into. From what I am seeing so far, it is much tougher to get into...unless your EMS makes the grade.
