If I have to work my tits off until retirement age then I see no reason why the same shouldn't apply to the fire service. However there needs to be a rank such as 'senior firefighter or some such' which applies to those not fit for frontline duty. I do believe the firefighter remit could widen out to even a building control function wher ethise no longer frontline actually impose the building regs instead of some spotty BC surveyor fresh out of uni who doesn't know his arse from his elbow.
