If a woman can carry a 250lb man down 3 flights of stairs while having 80 pounds of gear on their back, then I have no problem with them being a firefighter.

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away I was a buff tuff 5’10” 180 lbs volunteer. After several call outs it was all I could do to get to my car and go home. Affirmative action cannot alter the laws of physics.
