I'm not a fireman but my family has been into it for 18 years. My father has 18 years on Lawrence township fire as the maintenance supervisor(mechanic).
And my brother has 10 years with IFD.
So I've been around it for a long time. A lot of my work has come from firemen. Like about 30K this past year.

I do collision repair. I kinda wish I had followed my brother.

Thats a good number, should only take a few years from there. Maybe sooner depending on who they weed out with drug and fitness testing.
