I have a hundred stories about Female Firefighters. Some of them not fit to tell. I will let you in on this one. A ssceretary at Fire headquarters applied to be a Firefighter. The difference in pay was thousands of dollars more than she was making as a secretary. She was appointed as a Firefighter.She went through the Training academy and was assigned to a Company. As time went on she soon discovered that Firefighting is a pretty tough job and she couldnt cut it,shw ent off sick with an injury and was assigned to light duties. Guess where? Thats right she is now right back with her old secretarial job, only now she is earning a Firefighters pay, and the Company Captain is glad to see her there.
He's probably feeling fortunate that the only cost is the money for the pay difference and not the lives of her or his other firefighters.
