I have relatives that did and do work for Phx FD. One old timer couldn’t stand it when they started lowering the standards for the Gals. He said most of them couldn’t do the same lifting/carrying as the guys.
Me, I want the most qualified and meets All the standards working the emergencies.
Of course the “women” can’t do it. They lowered all the physical standards in SF so that they could get their most favored classes in. There are some tall buildings there and while it would be hard enough for some of these wanna-bes to drag anyone out of a first floor, they have to rely on the real men to carry anyone out of the higher floors.
