The perils of female firewatching

In a development that no one could ever have possibly foreseen, FDNY is down one firefighter firewatcher:
Firefighter who flunked physical injured 10 days into job

A firefighter who was allowed to graduate the Fire Academy despite failing physical tests has already gone out on medical leave — just 10 days into the job, The Post has learned.

Probationary firefighter Choeurlyne Doirin-Holder injured herself Monday while conducting a routine check of equipment at Queens’ Engine 308 in South Richmond Hill. Getting off the truck, Doirin-Holder missed a step and landed on her left foot, suffering a fracture, sources said. …
Personally, I think we should go to all-female fire brigades and an all-female military. That would end both war and fire forever.

That's only half of it. From the article:

"Doirin-Holder started another class in early 2014 but dropped out because of an injury. The FDNY then gave her a desk job and kept her on the payroll at top firefighter salary, $76,488…"

I would say, "Your tax dollars at work" but I seriously doubt much work was done. Let's go with "Your tax dollars on a two-hour lunch".

Glamorized urban blue collar work like firefighting has been under special scrutiny by the "system" over the decades, doing all it can to push women/blacks into its ranks.

That suggests a particular fear of White urban social capital among non-transient residents. Goes with Michael Jones's "The Slaughter of the Cities" thesis, about how WASP/Jewish upper class has made it a priority to break up Catholic/ethnic-White communities.

It's called "Take your daughter to work day" not let her try to do your job. See what happens?

Praetorian thanks for the picture - I guess her name needs to change from dindu nuffins to never donuffins.

Not quite a dime a dozen. I have some Camel (cigarette) coupons!
In Libertarian fora, I've noted I support legalization of prostitution iff (if an only if) the penalty for rape is the same for the theft of service.
$10 for a sex slave? Maybe a premium for actual "sealed for your protection" (hymen) virgins. But 72 virgins are cheap on that basis, even for less than practicing Christians.

Choeurlyne Doirin-Holder

That name alone didn't disqualify her?

This part is awesome, too. No wonder NY state is broke.

Doirin-Holder started another class in early 2014 but dropped out because of an injury. The FDNY then gave her a desk job and kept her on the payroll at top firefighter salary, $76,488…

Since she was injured on duty, she is eligible for a disability pension that would pay three-quarters of her annual salary, tax-free, if deemed unfit to return.
