I'm a woman, and I'm currently in training to be a firefighter in my city. I'm only one of four women (in both career and auxiliary). It's always a pretty off-kilter ratio! I'm pretty proud of myself though as I scored the highest and had near perfect scores on the physical assessment we had to do during the application process.

No offence taken! It's all the same testing and requirements regardless of gender, height, etc. I'm glad it's that way though--I don't want any special treatment just 'cause I'm a 5'2" female. If I can't keep up with the rest and I'm constantly struggling, then this obviously isn't the right fit for me. So far so good though 👍 the confined spaces are where I have the definite advantage haha

Naw man, us folks in BC have the best. I'm also going to read your book to my nieces and nephews--not only because it looks awesome, but now I like you a lot.
