Did I make a good decision leaving the fire department for IT?

I worked at a fire department for around 3 years that paid around 35k, 42-44k counting overtime. We did the regular 24 on 48 off. But, because the fire department was so short staffed 1 to 3x a month we had to do mandatory overtime where we did 48 hour shifts then 1 day off. I switched to IT because the job offered more career progression, was less taxing on the body, and higher pay. I still debate if I made the right decision? But, especially since rent prices went up, I didn't see how I would be able to afford living on that salary. I currently make 55k, so I couldn't imagine ever living on my own on 42k. Promotions were also hard to come by. You had to wait at least 3 years. They forced everyone to become drivers to get a promotion, plus do extra ambulance shifts where you would get 10 to 20 calls a day sometimes. The regular fire stations averaged 6 to 12 calls a day. So with all of the days without sleeping it started to break me down a bit. The politics of the departments were crazy too. One time my LT wrote me up because he said I didn't ask him for a drink of water at then end of a fire and supposedly called that freelancing. Certain stations that would want their firefighters to get off the truck with this or that tool. Some wanted us to memorize street names, whereas other stations would use Google maps. Some trained every day for hours and would do quiz sessions where they would cuss you out and call you an idiot if you didn't know something. Captions that would write people up over petty stuff like not keeping a bunker door locked. However, some of the people I worked with I miss to this day. Because office jobs literally are like office space where people ramble on in meetings for an hour about nothing. And I feel no one knows nothing about me. Whereas, in the fire department people almost get too personal, call you out for not being married, say your stupid for doing this or that. Overall, though considering all the negatives, did I make a good choice leaving my department? Even with promotions they would only increase 3000 to 5000 with each promotion. The break down of the body. Internal politics. Long hours. Were all the reasons I quit. Should I go back, or do you think I'm in a better position now? And has anyone else left for the same reasons and did you think it was a good choice or regret it?
