It'll be a shit storm when one of those failures kills a real FF because they can't do their fucking job.
 Fuck them for not walking when they failed and fuck FDNY for pushing them thru.

Do you have to do time as a fire fighter before you can become an EMT in NYC? Or is there a way to become one directly off the street?

The 'promotion' is from EMT/Paramedic to Firefighter....Also note that they are two separate Bureaus, EMS and Suppression. Once you go from EMS to Suppression, you cannot practice as an EMT or Paramedic anymore.... |

Being female is irrelevant to me. The fact she knowingly accepted the promotion knowing she had not earned it and had failed the required test multiple times indicates lack of pride and moral character. If she has no respect for herself how does she expect her peers and superiors to have any?

That's an 8-minute mile. Someone who's in good shape and is used to running could do it. When I started running for weight loss, it took me a while to work up to an 8-minute mile. But I'm in my 50s. I would think a younger person could make that goal a little easier. |

I have a 50 year old wife that runs 2 miles almost every day and she kicks that out in 14. I run 24 minute 3 miles 4 days a week and I am far from skin and bones, I'm a stout fellow 5'10- 225. I always wonder about the firefighters and LEO's that I see are grossly overweight and cannot fathom that they can pass a physical.

While in boot camp we were doing a shipboard firefighting.
we were separated into 5 or 6 person teams. In order to pass boot camp we were told we had to pass this. Well the Female in front of me while fighting the fire could not hold the hose while crouching. I braced her and held her up. She started panicking and crying hysterically and they stopped the exercise. the CC's rushed to her and to my amazement told her she did not have to finish it and they comforted her. If it had been a guy we would of been kicked out.

We had to run 1.5 miles in basic in 1999, men had to do it in 11:51 and women 13:26 or something. 6 out of the 8 women in my company failed pretty bad, a couple didn't even finish because they were crying. They took them out the next day, just them, and they all magically passed.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Diversity for the sake of......Diversity. I've wasted my breath talking about this one for years. While the argument could be made that a "diverse" police force can better serve the public in a city that is racially and ethnically diverse, I don't believe the same rule applies to the fire department. The role of the fire department in society is almost purely reactionary: A fire breaks out, the fire department responds and extinguishes it. The bulk of our down time is focused on preparation (drill, hydrant inspection) and prevention (building inspection). There really isn't a need to "foster ties" or "build a relationship" with the community. Firefighters almost always have a cordial relationship with the people that they serve. People tend to like firefighters. Even when some among the local population don't like firefighters (and there are neighborhoods where this is true), no one is going to hesitate to dial 911 when a fire breaks out or someone is sick or injured. Considering the physical nature of the job, and the narrow focus of the department's responsibilities, I believe the fire department that best serves its community is the one staffed by the most capable firefighters. Throughout the course of my career though, no one ever seemed particularly interested in my opinion. |

The max for a female in the Army is 1746 or so for two miles.
Id say she's in better shape than half the females in the .mil. Who arent good enough to pass this either. The eight minute mile is female PT perfection. |

We do health screenings but not physical training tests. Sometimes I wish we did. Also as an aside being able to run has almost nothing to do with being a good fire fighter. Neither does being able to bench 300lbs. You're better off doing something like cross fit. |

Who cares?
The people of NY she is supposed to be serving wont protest this. They wont light up the phones at the mayors office and protest at city hall over it? The firefighters she will be serving next to wont refuse to leave the station house with her. In fact not a single fire fighter in New York affected by this shit will do anything about it. So the two groups affected by this fat assed lazy bitch's hiring dont care enough to do anything about it........the fat bitch herself certainly doesnt have the self respect or humility to do anything about it herself. So all parties affected are in agreement....she should be a fire fighter. I dont give a shit. |

I had a fat (obese) female recruit in my company in the academy who fell out of every run. Every fucking run. Never made it over the wall once either. Turned out to be useless in field training and on patrol and was rewarded with an inside position for her efforts.
Guess what? The fat, useless bitch retired with me and got a similar pension. God I hate NYC. |
