A fire crew recently made history in Florida at Palm Beach Gardens Fire Rescue. A crew comprised entirely of women worked a shift together for the first time in the department's 57-year history.

They all worked together last month, and knew it was a momentous day. "That was captain, driver engineer, firefighter, rescue lieutenant, and paramedic," Krystyna Tesia Krakowski, a rescue lieutenant, told CBS affiliate WPEC-TV.

The next day, the station went back to a nearly all-male crew — but for one day, girls ruled. "I am completely humbled," Krakowski said. "I think we all are. It's empowering. We're all about women empowerment. It's exciting. It's sad that that's not the norm but it's becoming the norm."

So how do they decide who’s responsible for making all the sandwiches?

Very nice, but I have a bad feeling we’ll be hearing about them again soon.

The first 4 look like they could never carry an unconscious male out of a burning building. I’m not sure about the fifth one, but I’d lean towards ‘no’.

I'm very cool with that...

Although I've worked in some ER's....that all men work have been much better.

Yeah...I'm a dude.

No mention of all of the white males who were discriminated against.

((Yawn))

Not trying to be a prick, but who freaking cares! This is like people “coming out of the closet.” I know we’re supposed to be impressed, but it’s simply old hat now.

Of course there’s a man standing by, in case anything goes wrong.

Ok. They “accomplished” this. Whatever “this” is.

Aren’t we supposed to only care that they show up and put out the fire?

I guess we should be congratulating the “scheduler” if hitting a “Yahtzee” is what we are supposed to be exciting.

“The future is female” and “girls rule the world” reveal that Feminazi claims about “equality” were lies. The radical Marxist dykes never wanted equality, they wanted supremacy. “Take away his power” “smash the patriarchy”. “A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle”.

Good question. I wouldn’t doubt if nowadays certain groups are exempted from being capable at it. *smh*

“All-female crew makes history at Florida fire department”

Will there be a swimsuit issue calendar?

I’ll withhold my judgement until then.
