That amount reflects the 40 to 48 hours per week of wages Ocean City would need to pay a career firefighter instead of relying on the 10 on-duty volunteers who stay in fire stations free. Underlying costs and benefits do not factor into that estimate, according to the report.
The low-end of the cost range reflects time that officials have to wait for live-ins to receive physicals, therefore officially starting the job. The $1 million amount demonstrates a full shift without rounding, such as a volunteer arriving five minutes late.

So a bunch of homeless unemployed people are allowed to flop at at the fire house,what kind of sense does that make? I suppose they also get some kind welfare assistance besides housing.
