A couple of generations ago, there's no way that tiny woman would have qualified as a "fire fighter" (used to be firemen). Yet she's at the scene of the garage collapse, taking up space that could be occupied by a man who could be of use.

There's something to be said for rescue personnel who can fit into smaller confined spaces. Since child labor laws preclude using teenage and pre-teen boys, women might be the next best fit.

That is not a crazy idea. Hubby is big handed and I have very small paws. When he is working on a project he often calls for help when space is tight. Good things/small package sometimes.
