Firefighters announce new strike
Firefighters are to stage a fresh strike in their long-running row with the Government over pensions.
Members of the Fire Brigades Union will walk out for 24 hours on February 25.
It will be the 66th time FBU members have been on strike since the bitter row over pensions and retirement age broke out two years ago.
