“There was a video in the 1990s or early 2000s of females trying out for the LA fire dept, it was hilarious watching them trying to put up ladders and get over walls.

Unfortunately, I have never been able to find it on youtube.”

Would this be the video?

Physics and mother nature don’t give a darn about diversity inclusion and equality. OR your feelings.

I want to see a 120 lb woman drag a 250 lb man out of a fire.

Don’t blame yourself for that; setting backfires are COMMAND DECISIONS, the time and locations are all chosen at the Fire Command Center.

By the 80’s all the people who occupied those Command Centers had COLLEGE DEGREES and were smart (but had never fought anything bigger than a single match) but had never fought a WILDFIRE on the ground in person.

SOME TIMES EDUCATED IS JUST ANOTHER WORD FOR STUPID!

That’s right. No club control laws. No hate crime laws. Law of the jungle, no lawyers.
