I don’t know what bomb disposal personnel get paid, but it’s probably nowhere near enough.

They probably get paid a set rate but when get called out probably get the set rate plus danger money

 

[Keith Hennessey]

No long term contracts , just a job by job basis.

Bomb disposal in this instance were military therefore it will be day rate for ordnance by rank. As Cobi said nowhere near enough.

 

[Argyleloyal]
