What should be ended in New York is the cherry picking that goes on with the one out of the top three law. If a man writes the mark has a good fitness rating he should be awarded the promotion on a 6 month provisional basis. If he does well the job is his and the politics are taken out

The belief was that you could not size up a fire properly when rolling in. It gave the officers a view that they couldnt have with a coovered rig. I liked tillering but it was rough in the bad weather with old WPFD rigs. Also was not pleasent in the snow with a open cab.

I've always wondered when looking at antique apparatus. Why were there so many open cabs with no roofs? You'd think that the fire apparatus would be responding in all weather, and they would want some protection. This trend lasted from when motorized fire apparatus was invented, until about the 1970's.
Was there some sort of practical reason for not having a roog?

The Vulcan decree is what made the written test pass/fail and the physical agility graded. It was this that made it almost impossible for a woman to get hired? How do you successfully change this? Go back to the days when both portions are equally weighted? things have come full circle in 33 years. Remarkable!

No way in hell should any Dept should make the Physical any less challenging for woman. Are the physical demands going to be any less demanding at a Job? Enough already with this B/S and these f****** quotas. Peoples lives, both civilians and ffs are being jeopardized to satisfy a select few. Nor should the written be any less important then the Physical. No need for Braun over Brains folks you actually have to have a decent head on your shoulders also to accomplish the tasks of a ff. Anything less and people will die. FDMV actually had a woman yrs ago and where is she now? Give them the same frigging Physical and if they do well then give them the Job but can we please stop accomadating everybody! Why is it Civil Service always has to be the red headed stepchild when it comes to this nonsense.
