The fireman carry can be carried out by men and women alike. Its not brute strength thats required, its technique
I was talking to my friend Joe tonight who is a fireman and I asked him how are they advised to remove a person from a. burning building and he says they are trained in the dragging, lifting is last resort but both men and women can do them
He also said that there is now a rise in claims against the fire service because of arms being broken through the dragging method
Im no feminist but I do find your comments rather derogatory toward women. I do live in the real world, one where we have female police offices, firemen, soldiers and sailors.[/QUOTE]

Technique my aching arse. If it was technique alone, then 12 year old kids could do it. There are many times during the life of firemen, policemen and soldiers when brute strength is the difference between living and dying. Or worse, getting your team-mates killed.
Political correctness demands that standards be lowered so that females can claim they are trained to the same level as men.
There are many jobs, mostly technical in nature, women can do as well as men, but to state that she is his physical equal, is an insult to all men.
