Civil protection - Age limit for firefighters to be lowered

Rhineland-Palatinate is lowering the retirement age for firefighters. According to the draft law passed by the state government in the state parliament in Mainz on Wednesday, the standard retirement age for civil servants in the state and local authorities will be lowered moderately from 67 to an initial 64. This step is a building block in the reorganization of civil protection in the state and will make the profession more attractive, said Interior Minister Michael Ebling (SPD) during the debate. The regulation also applies to full-time fire and disaster control inspectors, for example.
