An FDNY recruit is getting a third chance to pass the training academy after collecting top firefighter pay for a year in desk jobs, sources told The Post.
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.

39 isn’t exactly the age to start a career fighting fires.

Next on line - ageism lawsuits against NYFD, leading to 65 year olds wheezing their way up fire-fighting ladders. Heck, 100 lb anorexics will be suing NYFD for weight-related discrimination.

You’re right. 39 is actually pretty old in the firefighting business, at least here where watershed fires are the biggies. Maybe not in NewYork where they mostly do medical aids

“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.”
She’s black and female. What other qualifications do you want?

Affirmative action means incompetent people get paid to fulfill a quota but everyone is sworn to say that none of that is true.
