Well there you go a blend of adherence to safety procedure, strength and teamwork seems to be the answer.
Maybe the Americans could learn something from the British model?

Men and women both face the same challenges/perils when fighting fires so their training has to be identical.

I had to do some basic search and rescue training in the dim and distant past that was organised by the fire service, and hell, its tough. They get nothing but respect from me.

And it isn't all about the physical either. The fire service work in teams, they don't all rush into burning buildings dragging out bodies, the driver for example is in charge of operating the pumps

...yeah it's a total trust/teamwork thing and I would think that there is a huge bond between them ..I think that one of the worst things must be, in terms of what they see, road traffic accidents and having to get the people out, whatever the injuries...

I'm simply stating facts, if you don't like what you hear ... tough. The fixation you have with women has left me speechless to be honest.
