First of all, all those guys are unionized (firemen, police, etc.) or close to it (army), so they have standard rates of pay. Each of those guys knows what everyone else makes. IT, on the other hand, seems to be more individualistic and market oriented.
The other thing I notice is that all those jobs involve the possibility of danger. With my job, the closest I come to 'danger' is tripping over a power bar. You'd be surprised at how interested you are at getting to know your colleagues when you depend on them for your life. :)
