Firefighters in Brussels have been protesting a new law that would raise their retirement age from 58 to 60, the Guardian reports.

A number of firefighters managed to break through police lines today and reach the Belgium Prime Minister's residence. A few dozen police officers put up a brave, though completely ineffective, stand to protect their premier's home from a soaking — but mostly just ended up soaked themselves.

Several hundred Belgian firefighters have broken through police lines in Brussels and hosed down the prime minister's office in protest at the government's tougher retirement plans.

The firefighters want to keep their early retirement age at 58, arguing their arduous job does not allow them to work into their 60s.

Such demands run counter to government plans to have the overwhelming majority of people work two years beyond 65 so it can afford an ever-increasing pension bill as Belgium's population ages.

The deputy prime minister, Didier Reynders, said caving in to the firefighters' demands would "send the wrong signal" to everyone. Belgium has 17,000 firefighters.

BRUSSELS—Several hundred firefighters have broken through police lines and hosed down the prime minister's office to protest the government's tougher retirement plans.

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

Such demands run counter to government plans to have the overwhelming majority of people work two years beyond 65 so the government can afford an ever-increasing pension bill as Belgium's population ages.

Vice Premier Didier Reynders said caving in to Friday's demands of firefighters would "send the wrong signal" to everyone. Belgium has some 17,000 firefighters.
