Firefighters in France are taking strike action to demand more staff, equipment and funding for fire and rescue services. Their unions say resources have not kept pace with rising workloads and are calling for better protection against cancer risks and physical and mental strain. Around 8,000 firefighters demonstrated in Paris on September 29, following a summer of major wildfires. The unions are seeking concrete government commitments on recruitment, long-term funding and working conditions. #France #Firefighters #Strikes #publicservices
