We have had female firefighters in our county for many years. The standards were even lowered way back when so they could pass the physical tests.
You are right, very few of them make it very long at all. They all go off on disability for permanent injuries.
We have 1 left from the ‘burst’ of females that were hired. She figured out right away she needed to kiss the behinds of the right people. And she did. She became very high profile by volunteering to go on any and all high profile rescue assignments. She even went overseea once as a volunteer to train fire department personnel. She was gone much more than she worked and is now a Battalion Chief. rofl
I got blasted by 3 people for what I said. At least you agree with me. I am testing for a few departments right now. The women can’t pas the physical exams. The depts just lower the standards and push the through the process just for the #’s.
It’s political correctness gone crazy. Fire depts have been male dominated in the US for a very long time. Things have been running fine the way they were. It’s a male job. Plain and simple.
Women dominate the nursing field. Where the hell is the federal government and the Dept of Justice?? They should be our sueing the nursing schools for not recruiting and admitting enough male nursing students! Talk abotu a double f’ing standard! Riddle me that, ehhh??
