Engine 10 ran a call for a car fire at Best Buy at Valley View today. Lt. Dean Russell and FF Gary Fisher are shown attacking the fire in the engine compartment. FF Travis Collins was pumping the fire.
Yeah, I noticed that Firefighter O'Brien kicked your butts in the written and practical promotional exams. She was number one after the written and number one after the practicals. Seems like she is more than capable of doing the job. I would be willing to bet she will do better than alot of the guys I have seen pumping and driving. Don't you feel stupid now?
Why would we feel stupid? She was hired here to do the job right? She has been working here for years and she scored number 1, and good for her! But do not start any shit if she goes out and drops the ball like anyone can! The first time she does something wrong someone will say it's cause she is a women! But the truth of it is she would just be human! Good job tina and good luck. The wolves will be watching!
