news Firefighters vs Cops: Striking fire officers soak PM office in Brussels

[FMH]

..........

Several hundred firefighters have broken through police lines and hosed down the prime minister's office

in Brussels to protest the government's tougher retirement plans. Firefighters demand to keep their early

retirement age at 58, arguing their arduous job does not allow them to work into their sixties.

They are using fire chemicals during their protest? Morons.

It's a dangerous profession, I think 58 seems about right.
