I caught this video by mistake and knew the comment section was going to be wild.

I bet they've positioned them in a certain vicinity where they only get called to fires as a back-up. A woman cannot lift a 250lb man and carry him to safety from a burning building

Come on they're not even physically fit examples of women! I could definitely imagine Chyna from WWF (RIP) being a fire fighter.

All I'm hearing is they singled out the men and got rid of them for this to happen

[OATMEALCMC]

Fire insurance is going to skyrocket in that area!

Why are y'all virtue signaling when this is a job that has people's lives on the line. DEI hiring is not the way, hire the people right for the job.

[DanielGaffney-kqzt]

It's. Not a truck it's a engine get it right

[somebodysmom]

Not impressed. Pick another dream ladies, we need our men fighting fires. ❤🙂

No way this a good thing! Men and women are different!

[Conservativefiremaga]

Definitely don’t want to live in that first due!

Male fireman have a higher physical standard compared to females, despite receiving equal pay and benefits. I’m not against female firefighters, but there needs to be a male present. If you combine the gear they carry, plus the potential of lifting themselves up or carry another person. They don’t have the strength as a male firefighter would

Whoo hoo happy national woman's month

Maybe they should work at Firehouse Subs instead.
