'If you're going to get hurt in the firehouse checking a rig, what would happen at a fire?' an insider asked.
Liberal: Well...well, that's not the point, the point is that you now have a more diverse Fire Department. Isn't that Wonderful?!
Give her a lifetime retirement income with full health insurance and food stamps.
Time to promote off the line to HQ where she can claim to be a firefighter and recruit more dead-weight. . .
I’m shocked.
“Choeurlyne”??? Sounds like a petrochemical.
She hit the jackpot. Set for life, with no expectation that she will contribute to society. Everyone knows she can’t do the job, so no one has any expectations. Pure gold, baby!
All I had to see was the hyphenated name.
They’re doing it all wrong. The firefighters should have posted a sign behind the rig that read ‘SHOE SALE 50% OFF” and I;ll bet she can carry twice the load.
This is what happens when standards are lowered to create politically correct fire departments.
Firefighting is not a woman’s job. Its arduous, physically demanding and dangerous work.
It involves working with heavy equipment and often being in life-threatening situations.
But for liberals, reality takes a back seat to avoid offending militant activists who want the appearance of equality even that means a fire department can’t fulfill its mission.
Chourlean wins the lottery. No doubt her injury will be deemed to be a permanent disability and after the out of court settlement for her lawsuit, life will be good. No more days of drudgery and danger at the fire house.
Just Super........
Is this the same larda$$ that couldn’t even run 1.5 miles in 12 minutes?
How’s that AA working there for you?
From the NY Post this past July:
Choeurlyne Doirin-Holder, 39 — one of four women among 320 current probies in training — failed midway through a Fire Academy class in 2013, and returned to her former job as an EMT.
After entering another class in early 2014, she dropped out because of an injury. But the FDNY kept Doirin-Holder on payroll.
She made $81,376, including overtime, last year — about $26,000 more than the $55,144 she made as an EMT in 2013, records show. Most probies get starting firefighter pay of $39,370.
The FDNY did not assign Doirin-Holder to two subsequent academy classes. She worked desk jobs first at headquarters, then on Randalls Island.
“She was qualified as an EMT. She should have been serving the public while waiting for the next probie class, but was paid as a full-time firefighter to do office work and train on the payroll,†a high-ranking source said.
A year ago, a classmate called Doirin-Holder “the most pathetic specimen of physical fitness I’ve ever seen,†saying she failed to run a required 1.5 miles in 12 minutes, stopping to walk, and got winded walking up stairs.
Doirin-Holder gets top firefighter pay, a base $76,488 after five years, because she is one of 282 “priority hires†who Brooklyn federal Judge Nicholas Garaufis ordered must get preference.
Two other female priority hires in Doirin-Holder’s first academy class, now ages 41 and 44, did well, sources said. They passed the Functional Skills Test, or FST, a tough obstacle course of tasks such as climbing six flights of stairs in full gear and dragging dummies.
Doirin-Holder declined to comment, referring questions to the FDNY.
“We don’t discuss individuals or individual cases while in the academy,†said spokesman Jim Long.
��‹Doirin-Holder now stands to benefit from the FDNY’s newly watered-down standards, critics said.
But fat and stupid is good enough for a job that requires a very high level of fitness, at least in a world that caters to delicate snowflakes.
There certainly was no surprise to find a female involved. After failing her physical, 10 days into the job- injured? The little flower petal plucked. Why was this her life vocation? Our foolish government!
Just think how self-inflicted casualties will affect overall unit performance on a battlefield. A useful tactic- inflicting injuries-in an opposing military.
