Dear Citizen, your request for more detail about the firefighter's hours and salaries are excellent and I assure you, they seem to have gone to great lengths to make that information hard to find.

If you look at cities collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) and search for "$", it won't show up anywhere near the salary tab. Some only post non-searchable CBAs. Usually, the CBA references percentage and hour adjustments to previous CBAs that are not posted.

Transparency is not the hallmark of these services.

Maybe someone could request this information as a public records request in a usable form but all you would likely get is the raw material.
