Adjunct fire instructors gain annual pay adjustments

Beginning July 1, 2026, Connecticut Fire Academy adjunct instructors receive hourly pay adjustments each fiscal year.

That agreement is between the state and the State Employees Bargaining Agent Coalition. The law sets no fixed dollar increase; the amount depends on that agreement.
