Do you really want 67 year old firefighters responding to your burning home?

No, I'd expect that any raising of retirement age would lead to pragmatic shifting of the work and filling jobs. 67 yo's might more likely be the administrators, supervisors and fire chiefs. Although they become less agile, they have points that become significant strengths: judgment and experience. With early retirements today, those strengths are lost.

Those jobs are filled these days with recent college grads and diversity hires. What do white male firefighters do when they can’t carry 100 pounds up a ladder in full gear?
