I can't think of anyone who'd be more eager to start a controlled burn to make a fireblock than an arsonist.

It's easy! "I start fires! I control fire! I'M A GOD!!!"

Those salaries, however, are very small considering the cost of living in those cities.

For reference a fairly modest home in most parts of the suburbs near LAFD's area will cost at least 10 years of (starting) wages, before tax.

15-20 years is not out of the question if they service an affluent area and don't wish their home to be 3 hours away from their workplace, one-way.

Now I have to figure out if I have any film canisters still around the house, and I don't even have kids.
