I experienced this for the first time in 1970. I had been accepted to the Dallas Firefighter Academy and had my start date when a federal district judge ruled DFD had to hire all women until they reached 15% of their force. To do that they rolled back the requirement of carrying a 100 lb sack down a ladder and some other requirements. In order to make sure that they had enough women they reduced the rescuing functionality of firefighters.
Liberals never concern themselves with what works; reality means nothing to them. It is all about enacting the stuff they talked about in college around a bong.
Fire Departments have been fighting this for years no.
In my time there I never found one that could start a chainsaw properly or start a generator without electric start. They aren’t very good with an axe or a hook or raising ground ladders, either. Forget the Pompier.
