If you want to keep the final salary scheme, you have to contribute more into it.
The plan is to make retirement age 68 for all. The firefighters retirement age will be 60, but as I keep saying, if you aren't fit enough to be operational at 59 (which most people won't be), then you can be sacked. And then you can't claim your pension until you are 68.
