As for this article... Just because she can do combat challege it does not make her a good firefighter, there is alot more to firefighting then running stairs. And her comment about you name it I've done it, thats the type of attuide they want to keep away from the department. With comments like that no wonder she didnt get hired. Now for the comment of the police having it right because the promoted a female and a black, come on, the only reson you know that is cause it was in the paper, the only reason it was in the paper is cause it was a women and a black. Im not saying they werent the best ones for the job but why the need to post it anywhere, the fire deparment has promoted both females and blacks....who are all capable at there jobs, thats what it should be about, promote the best not the people who will get you on the front page.
