Job Bank has no page for this job on its own. The closest one, for other professional engineers, shows a national median near $50 an hour, about $104,000 a year full time, so treat these numbers as the engineering middle rather than a fire-specific survey. Specialists are scarce in Canada, so experienced ones sit near the top of the range.
