What percentage of US firefighters are volunteer?

In the United States of America, approximately 69% of all firefighters are unpaid volunteers. These essential personnel go through the same rigorous training to prepare for the work that lies ahead. This may include firehouse drills, equipment training, resuscitation and other practice drills, and they may receive certification. Some volunteers have on-call shifts and may be invited to participate in fundraising and public education as well.
