Firefighters across England and Wales have walked out on strike for four hours in a bitter row with the Government over pensions.
The first walkout by firefighters across England and Wales in more than a decade has come to an end. Members of the Fire Brigades Union went on strike for four hours over pension changes - claiming it'll mean staff having to work until they're 60.
Revd Dick Johnson is Chaplain for Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue and told Premier's News Hour the job is completely different to what many firefighters signed up for:
