Firefighters in England and Wales are to strike on 1 and 4 November in a row with the government over pensions, the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) says.
The government plans to make firefighters work up to 60 and argues that the pension on offer is generous.
But FBU general secretary Matt Wrack says the late 50s are too old to be fighting fires and rescuing families.
A planned five-hour strike was called off earlier this month after progress was made during talks.
FBU members will walk out on 1 November from 18:30 to 23:00 GMT and on 4 November 06:00 to 08:00 GMT.
Mr Wrack said: "The Westminster government has created this mess, but it is refusing to clear it up.
"It now recognises the problem but it won't provide the legal and financial guarantees firefighters need to ensure they have a job and an unreduced pension in the future."
During the first strike on 25 September, 32,000 union members walked out for four hours, according to the FBU.
