This Commentary on the Firefighter's Pension Scheme provides a guide to the main provisions of the Scheme. By its nature the Commentary is general in its examination of the Scheme and cannot deal with the individual circumstances of particular cases. The full details of the Scheme are contained only within the rules "The Firemen's Pension Order 1992" as amended from time to time. These rules are the legal basis for the Scheme. Nothing in the Commentary can override the rules, and in the event of any unintentional difference, the rules will prevail.
