I'm confused. How does the hiring or additional women and minority firefighters enhance the ability of the fire dept. to do it's job? Are some fires more susceptible to being extinguished by left-handed black women as opposed to white men? Are some races more adept at climbing ladders than other races? Carrying hose? Do grease fires prefer to be put out by Eskimos or transgendered Italians? We know where this is all heading. In New York City, multiple women are now on the fire dept. payroll and sitting behind a desk because they simply can not pass the physical fitness requirements of the department. But the mayor insists that they be hired, anyway. "Diversity", don't you know. We used to call them "quotas". Then "affirmative action". Now, "diversity". They all walk like a duck.
