    Hearing the DFD be called the best of the best is both funny and heartwarming. Funny because when I was growing up you were lucky if they responded at all, and if they did it took 15+ minutes. Heartwarming because it shows how much the department has turned itself around.

      That's what happens when you have Democratic mayors that run your city budget into the ground and both end up going to jail on federal corruption charges

      That's mostly on the dispatchers who are short staff they might get a call but the dfd probably wont get that dispatch until 8 minutes later.

    I wish she had came along prior to 2003,when I was forced to leave the department,because I could've empathized with her being of 1/4 Pacific-Asian heritage myself!!!

    Firefighter is a joke of a job. You spend most of your days doing nothing, and if there is a fire they maybe spend a couple hours and its back to doing nothing. Clowns who dont want to work for a living.

    Did she have the same physical standards as men? If so great! If not why not? This job isn’t a job for just anyone, it’s a job that our brothers and sisters depend on you being able to do everything they can. The fire, the building, the victim don’t change just because you’re an asian female.

    So if we’re going to put race and ethnicity in like we always do, hopefully they don’t let her drive the truck, but it would give them more business.
