What exactly is a volunteer firefighter and should not they be paid?
I do not understand. I know that some firefighters are paid, but the fire department where I live are all volunteers. They circulate asking for donations. This does not seem very ... encouraging it? I would like be a firefighter and help my city, but why if I'm not going to pay? They risk their lives to save ours. They should be paid! So do firefighters Volunteers work 2 jobs? + volunteer as another job .. Thank you guys. I consider myself enlightened. 
Volunteer simply means that they have volunteered to become a firefighter. They are not money. they did so because they care about their community and people ask why they paid a firefighter joined. They will also tell you they are not for the money. An all volunteer fire department. receives grant money gov. for equipment and things like that. But they also rely on donations to supplement their "pot" could be say. Yes, most of them have regular jobs.
