More than 700 firefighters across Shropshire and Mid Wales are set to vote over potential strike action.
Fire Brigades Union chiefs turned down the increase and deemed it"absolutely disgusting" as they reiterated calls for a boost in line with inflation.
Andrew Scattergood, executive council member for the West Midlands in the union, said:"Strike action is always the last resort, it's something every firefighter wants to avoid. But over 10 years of pay restraint has resulted in a real-terms pay cut for firefighters. The region's senior fire boss added any worthwhile pay offer would be submitted to the members to decide on, with the union being a"democratic" organisation.
