No turnout gear, no scba, no tools...totally different ballgame throw full PPE on her and give her a set of irons then post it.

@bakdavis1 >>>---> What are you? A woman misanthrope? Besides if she would have done it in a bikini you would not have said a thing.  But she can do it with full PPE, SCBA, tools and a fat 160 lb male hung around her neck.

@zaffdoc if your so into defending what a woman can do on the fire ground why even point out the fact she's a woman in the first place?

[zaffdoc]

@foxracr18 >>>---> I guess I am kind of dumb. Anyone could have figured that out by watching the video. huh?

[yungrott]

@zaffdoc another one of you. i know women that don't even think about them being a woman. nobody does and everbody is happy. but then there is you super feminist, extremist, "anything you can do i can do better" types, overcompensating and pissing people off around you. its like the napoleon complex times 10. some female cops do it too. its like....wtf ? quit trying to prove shit and do your fucking job. basically he just said its harder with full gear. which is something that transcends gender.

@yungrott >>>---> Another one of you? What does that mean? What if I said that video you have on your channel under favorites --- The fastest ladder climbing firefighter was not wearing turnout gear, no scba, no boots ... totally different ballgame - throw full PPE on him and give him a set of irons and then I bet he would not be so fast. It has nothing to do with what the meaning of the video is all about. Does it?

[zaffdoc]

@MoisheKapoyr >>>---> Betcha she would !!!!

[zaffdoc]

@enzhate >>>---> Because you would not have left a comment if I did.

Men are just better at firefighting. They have more body strength, and they are larger too. They are better at lifting 100 pound fire hoses and hauling themselves over things. They are also better at hacking down walls and doorways and objects in the way. They can carry tanks on their backs easier. And don't say I'm a sexist, because I am just telling the truth: Men are stronger than women.

Good for her, that takes guts regardless of gender. And for the record, I work with several female Firefighters that could whoop any one of your hater asses (and a few of them lookin' pretty good while doing it!). Times evolve and advance. Just like we don't still wear rubber turnouts, get killed riding tailboard, and breathe through bushy ass mustaches. Quit whining and just go to work and enjoy your coworkers regardless of their gender or in other words: grow the fuck up.

Guys come on its important for women to be able to do this, what if there is a man at the top who needs a sandwich?

True true true

[mrlafayette1964]

the term is FIREMAN, some things are masculine in nature and this is one of them.Totally UNNECESSARY for women to be involved.Ever notice why most female FIREMEN/POLICEMEN look like butch lesbians? Its because they feel masculine therefore they try do do a MASCULINE occupation.Same goes for women in combat,every real soldier I've come across say's they're nothing but in the way.It's time to return things back to NORMAL.

grande la pompiera...ragazzi non è da tutti stare lassù!!

The 12 people that disliked this video are cops that are to chicken to climb a 107' aerial Ladder. XD

[pjblake1969]

how silly, all rookies do this in the academy. The fact that they are making such a big deal out of it shows they expect less from females then men.

[ndrwplussine]

yeah pretty good for a girl. tho these women who dedicate their lives trying to be physical stronger than even the average man tend to look freaky. WOMEN DONT NEED MUSCLES! THEY NEED TO ONLY KNOW HOW TO COOK!!!!!! FUCK off feminists, read schopenhauer essays on women
