HISTORY
CORRECTION: the duffle bag pictured at 1: 48 is inaccurate. The duffle Brenda describes was actually a 120 lb solid cylinder to be balanced on one-s shoulder, with no straps or handles, providing a considerable technical problem to those taking the test. We apologize for the error.

I know this sounds bad but the truth is an average to above average woman would never be able to carry an average to above average male out of a burning building. I understand that there is an equal rights issue, but we are talking about who lives and who dies.

So another words, she wanted to be a fireman, she was too weak and too small to pass the physical portion, and having been to Law school she decided to throw a fit to get her way.
If women want to work in a man-s world they should have to do what the men do

I personally don-t care for women firefighters. The reason why. It-s not anti-woman. They usually have to lower the standards for the women so that they can qualify which means They can-t do some of the things that only the moon can do.

I know I'm sure reassured by the logic of a 150 to 160 lb woman trying to carry a 350 lb man down three flights of burning stairs while wearing a full set of gear, what could possibly go wrong?

She said she got calls from female firefighters soon after 9/11, who were complaining about a lack of recognition? Did the mainstream media do an about face and start attacking females after 9/11?

They couldn't pass the physical requirement test. Makes me wonder how often men were called on to complete rescues that these women were not capable of.
