Moreover, almost every other Fire Service in the world sets the retirement threshold at 60. Some have even higher age limits. In Germany, one of the best run, safety-conscious nations on earth, 65 is the retirement age, while in Australia it is 63.
And they work on the frontline, fighting fires at that age, or the age they can claim their pension ?

Not good enough Dedworth, I know you know. What's the maximum age you can join the Army, something like 32? How long can you sign up for 4 or 8 yrs ?

So there are probably few fighting at the frontline who are over 40 I wonder why, Dedworth

But it's ok for a firefighter to be at the frontline until they are 60
