I am compensated as a paramedic. I volunteer as a firefighter. However, my compensation as a paramedic is $16/hr, which isn't awful (at least it's more than minimum wage), but I certainly don't do it for the money... The money that feeds my family comes from work as a software developer. There are a variety of reasons why I do what I do. A desire to help others is certainly one of those reasons. Did you just stop reading after "Heroic, right?" The very next word was "No"...
