Easy to see the problem.
Lol
Near 100%. Almost all competent firefighters are men. They are fireMEN, nothing else. Women are hited as window dressing kr at best support jobs.
“Which is true……so what they do is make women captains, chiefs, lieutenants or office jobs…”
Many years ago a FReeper firefighter wrote on here that the woman they got out in the field couldn’t hack it as standards had been dumbed down to get them in and they were often promoted just to get them up and out.
The woman is a dangerous kook.
Bottom line.
Except ZERO women can haul a 180 lb. victim down a ladder.
Exactly ZERO - so let’s pretend.
My neighbor is a firefighter and so is one of my nephews. They have the kind of training that you describe.
One thing my neighbor pointed out to me is that emergency calls to the scene of a car accident are much safer than calls to a major fire. A significant percentage of the crews in these LA fires may suffer lung damage from smoke inhalation. That damage is permanent and cumulative.
A lot of the more active firefighters retire in their early fifties with COPD problems.
“HOW much $$$$ did BASS take to GHANA?”
I can’t find if any money was passed although it normally is. What she did was give the city board an opportunity to cut the fire funding by $17.6M this year and no one seems care whether it is political reps or citizens...until now.
Bass was in Ghana as part of a delegation to celebrate the inauguration of Ghana President John Mahama, and to meet the country’s first female vice president, Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang. Of course there had to be a woke reason for her being there. She was sent when Harris should have gone. But Kamala is a true lame duck now and just wants to hit the bar.

Should be re-posted over and over and over again.
When ‘diversity’ is fully implemented all you have is discrimination.
Of all things to not have men…fire officials!! When ‘diversity’ means ‘nowhere men’ then where is the diversity???
It’s like HR departments…all trained on DEI, but tue whole department is women.
True, but you gave me a straight line I could not resist.
How about a "compromise". I know a great deal about some things.
So do most people on this forum. Including you.
Yep. Don’t send a woman to do a man’s job.
pretty sure we were talking about leadership which the RIGHT woman would be capable of. Physical strength is unmatched though so I agree we’re deluding ourselves as to women being equally capable physically as men
Great Bikes back then !
I got a good deal on my 1969 and
Terrorized San Diego on it.
Crashed it then put a Hardtail
Frame on it which was My Best work on a Chopper-—wished I’d keept it.
Like Hawaii.
Troll.
I was born in San Diego, so I just had to ride there and see the place where I was hatched!..................
I had no idea speaking to the press required upper body strength. And I thought women did most of the talking anyway?
My Mom’s still live in Misson Village...
.
San Diego gets it’s share of fires.
.
Greatest Taco stands on the Planet !
Me and some Marine buddies would ride down to Tijuana on weekends.
I wouldn’t go there now for love 😉 or money!.............
