Just in case you didn't know....
'Firefighters in England and Wales are on a 24-hour strike amid demands for the government to take part in a national televised debate on pensions and the retirement age.
Members of the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) in England and Wales are on strike for 24 hours until 9am on Friday, the longest stoppage in their three-year campaign against changes to their pensions.
The action coincides with the start of the World Cup, which has led fire chiefs to urge people not to cook late-night meals after watching football on the TV for fear of starting fires in the kitchen.'
