There are many departments across the country with successful and capable women in all ranks of the fire service. So what more needs to happen so that more women will want to choose the fire service as a viable profession?

Jacob Stephenson Why do we need more women? How about the best person gets the job? I have two women at my station and they are two of the best fire fighters I know. My fiancé is a firefighter. But the fact that they are women does not, and should not matter.

Janelle Musick As a female firefighter I'm not a fan of this. I think the best firefighter should get the job. I've worked my ass off to be looked at as an equal and as a firefighter and not as a female firefighter, just like a lot of women in the fire service have.....See More

Ron Taylor Eric Lamar is well known for being anti Scheitberger. The GP is an extremely hard working individual. The man was on the road over 180 days last year helping and meeting with locals. He keeps his pulse on the issues of firefighters and I'm proud he is my General President and I'm annoyed that Lamars blog was reposted on this page.

Bobby Chitwood We have absolutely got to avoid these types of headlines. It greatly weakens a unions standing and allows for cheap journalism to alienate American membership as an American problem. Too bad the New York Times can't write about the corporate malfeasance in this country.

Angela Marie Kozicki As they should be in trouble! First and foremost the citizens of Chicago rely on them! On medical leave and you are working a show come on and the other one shame shame on you while on duty. Sad that this is how some "act" as firefighters but only do it for the title. When given the title its suppose to be a life achievement! Something to be proud of!
