Question:

What is the salary range per year for a pyrotecnician?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: For most pyro guys, it's a free lance job. So, you get hired by the day or week or for a show.

Some pyro guys have steady work, like at theme parks - but then they are under the same umbrella as the other stagehands.

Also, I believe that there are ranges of pyro licenses, in-door vs out-door for example, so price may be an indicator there.

My best guess is in the Los Angeles area, an active free-lance pyro guy makes close to 70 grand a year.
