My father was a firefighter in a major metropolitian fire department. He worked during the years women were first being brought into the department. He had no problem with the women that pitched in and pulled their weight, but there were a good number who only got the job by suing to get the physical requirements lowered, and then ducked any work that was too hard by saying they weren't strong enough to do it. If your not strong enough to pull a hose or carry someone out of a building, then you shouldn't be a firefighter.
