Not where I live now nor where I grew up. I personally know quite a few volunteer firefighters and none of them get paid a real salary. They get 'paid' in gifts and it is measly amounts. The exception are those who get EMT training and do EMT work. Nor from what I've researched is it really common anywhere for volunteers to be paid a real salary. Are you sure he is a volunteer firefighter working for a fire-department funded through voluntary donations? Many firefighters who work part-time for career departments call themselves volunteers when they aren't really.
