[QUOTE="slowp, post: 4459646, member: 13863"] For whom? Oh, I see it must be an AZ thing. Forest Service seasonals have been trying to get that bill passed federally for eons. Having worked as a seasonal and permanent, I can say that I've never heard of anybody thinking about death benefits. You're young and invincible. Pay? We got hazard pay on fires and overtime too. That's why you go. The pay. Not to be a hero. Not to collect death benefits for somebody else. Hazard is a quarter of your hourly pay added, and overtime is time and a half. So, you can get paid your hourly wage plus 3/4 of your hourly wage if shifts are long. That's what you go to fires for. [/QUOTE]
