Fired Dept.'s everywhere are SOLELY FOCUSING only on hiring minorities, women and gay/lesbian crews.
I am a credentialed firefighter with EMT and smokejumping skills and I've tried to get hired at over a dozen fire houses, each of whom categorically rejected my applications on the basis that I am neither black, nor gay nor female.
As a test, on 3 fax-in applications, I ticked the box FEMALE and AFRICAN-AMERICAN as ethnicity.
I received eager calls from 3 different recruiters the very next day...
Good job Chantette . You got a little winded there but you rallied . We live in the new day and age of video and comment blogs . Let's see some of the Commenters who can quote the NFPA standards open a roof under adverse conditions . Way to get the job done
@DarkBlood1337 Smokes blowing in the opposite direction, and I'm pretty sure that nothing will fall on her head. and a fall from that height would send the helmet flying immediately after impact with the ground so it really wouldn't make a difference with the helmet
Nice video! Took 3 alarms of hard working firefighters to put that fire out though.. Superwoman must have forgot her helmet and pack in the phone booth!

All for woman on the job, But she better start by putting on some gear. Ladder belt can hurt.

she has no choice but to open it with an axe, Boston doesn't use saws on pitched roofs

Unless you have opened a roof with an axe you should not comment. Thats an asskicking. If she had balls theyd be out. Nice work.
