No Age Limit Bro

[@davidmack4495]

@@igochopyourdollar pretty sure thats not true... there is an age limit, and being 59, unless you are one out of a million, you wouldn't be able to physically do the job.

How can I do both sucture and wildland firefighting?

[@frostyconnor578]

If you’re a structure firefighter you will do both, it’s like that for California, normally.

If our presidents can have felony’s, LAFD should start giving well qualified felons a second chance 🤠

[@MrJohnnybe123]

Good to see equal opportunities and LGBT rights in this job role….the presenters are a role model of this …..

[@caseyjones3684]

REALLY???? SMH

[@Julian-4]

Take your bs somewhere else. When you’re fighting a fire, going down a hallway, or hearing a mayday or you yourself calling one, you’d better hope the one rescuing you isn’t an “equal opportunity” or LGBT firefighter that can do the job well. And just so your tiny little mind knows, the FDNY Chaplain Mychael Judge who was lost on 9/11 was actually gay. So you can shove it

[@larrylarue3997]

Keep identity politics out of this all that crap is irrelevant it’s can you do the job

[@backcountrybushcraft36]

Well that one is definitely a dude

[@chopperchopper1418]

Female cops need to crawl over a 4 foot fence than take a 2 min break.

[@timothyreed8417]

Can you qualify?
