I fly for a charter opp but also work as a full time firefighter. We work 2 24hr shift a week and get a ton of time off. Even with the two full time jobs still have a good amount of time off. Firefighting is a great job and it paid my way through flight training. If anybody looking for a good plan B and are not afraid to get dirty from time to time. I would recommend it. I don't plan on stopping the flying carear however it would be a decent job say if my company ever went south.
