  1. Very few women can do the job of a city fire department adequately. They simply are not big enough or strong enough. I worked wildland fires for a couple of years in my 20s, I could do that but forget structure fires where you have to climb ladders with heavy packs and carry people out of buildings. It is physically too demanding for the vast majority of women, but there are some exceptions, and those who are the exceptions should absolutely go for it. More women can do wildland fire fighting because it does not require as much strength.

  2. World: Floods in Germany, China, Britain, New Zealand and America caused by Global Warming.

    US: "The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive." D.Trump

    Native: "Your kids can name more KPop groups than they can types of native trees." Sean Sherman

    China: "Ecology is a resource, wealth and treasure." Xi Jinping

    A fire from a US gender reveal party was seen from space.

    Start using goats to clear forest brush and start dobbing in Fire Karens.

  4. Lol as soon as they get women involved they start taking apart the viability of the job with all the social 'needs' they have and altering the requirements to suit themselves.
    Sorry but who wants a 130 pound woman trying to carry a 200 pound man out of a burning building.And yes i have taken fire training many times and doing physical labour in a 120 degree smoke filled environment wearing 40 pounds of gear and a scott air pack is not something you want to be politically correct with.

  5. there are no fire fighter shortages 😅💀 SAFD gets like 3,000 applicants a year and only 59 get in. This is for wild land firefighting.
