My neighbor is a fireman (San Diego). During fire season, he gets sent to major fire zones in other parts of the state for several days or even weeks at a time. I believe he gets paid overtime for the entire time he is on these fires.
Edit to add: He makes really, really good money in fire season, but he'd prefer to be home with his family.
If that's the case,they have a really good deal,but it looks like the supervisers are getting all the overtime, they can pad their time much easier than the regular firemen.
Looks like a lot of fraud involved in all that overtime. Doubling your salary is about the most people can work.

As in any job, supervisors know how to "cook the books."
