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.

...indeed and as well as the physical, it's also the emotional as well with the things they must see...

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 would think that with a road traffic accident, it wouldn't be the same type of 'adrenalin' thing so you were really fully absorbing the horror of it all...I just can't imagine what it would be like to be one of the first to arrive at a huge pile up with multiple deaths and horrific injuries...

they had to lower the standards to let this woman in...this puts everyones life at more risk and destroys the teamwork you talk about.

..I don't see though where lives have been put at risk by this female firefighter, is there a story about her endangering people, her colleagues or any other life...it says in training that were four women among the 44 recruits who started last December, but they all dropped out so didn't meet the standard which was set or found it wasn't for them but not saying that the standard had been lowered ...

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.
