Man, I should have been a firerfighter.
Yea it's possible. Mainly based on overtime. In my area a Firefighter/paramedic tops out at around $75,000/yr on 48 hr work weeks. Police officers are around $64,000 on 40hr work weeks. Though there are generally a lot of OT opportunities and many officer's i've known have pulled in well over $100,000, some even $200,000. Can't speak much for firefighters though.
