Along with this lump sum, the deal makes the temporary 18% pay hikes for firefighters three years ago into permanent raises. It adds another 10% increase on July 1, 2024, along with additional pay spikes through 2029. The new deal will also maintain existing benefits along with new incentives, assignment bonuses, increased uniform allowances and holiday pay.
