Abstract

Firefighters used to work a 30-year career and retire in their 50s. When the life expectancy of a retired firefighter was limited by their lungs being damaged by smoke inhalation, this did not place too heavy a financial burden on the Fire and Rescue Service (FRS) or the government. However, the increased longevity of the working population has created the need to extend working lives, and the impact upon firefighters has been to expect up to 40 years' employment plus additional pension contributions.
