re: #21 Curt

Yep….I don’t want someone who can’t haul the normal weight of a normal citizen out of a burning home….regardless of their gender, cultural origin.

Some people, however, like the feeling of feeling like they helped someone by letting someone into such a job that doesn’t know what they are to do, and may not be physically able to perform.

If I’m ever unconscious in a burning four-floor walk-up, I don’t want the firefighter who passed the easier test coming to get me.
