City of Spartanburg firefighters are pushing for better pay following a council vote that awarded raises to police officers.
With the raise for police officers approved on Dec. 21, their starting salary jumped from $36,300 to $40,500. The starting salary for city firefighters: $33,350.
“The pay structure (for firefighters) was way behind the police department before the new (pay raise) proposal,” Heath Henderson, a retired city firefighter, told the council before they gave final approval to the police raise. “And now there’s an even larger gap.”
He noted that the $40,500 earned by newly hired police officers with no prior experience is equal to what an experienced fire lieutenant earns. He said that the fire department has also historically struggled with retention, recruitment and vacancies as a result of pay reasons given for the police raise.
