I refused to go into a burning ranch style-flat WITH NO PEOPLE INSIDE. Because only me and the only three women on our dept. showed up to the scene. (Rural paid on call dept.). The one other to accompany me (with one being watch and one running the pump) would of been a 5'5 115 lbs women. I'm a 190lbs 6'1 man. With our bunker gear on add another 40lbs for here and 60 for me.

Because SHOCKER I would have to carry our tools.

Long story short chief said that "sexism" was no reason to "disregard duty" and I was asked to resign (aka fired).

Oh btw she had a different physical exam for her state certification than I did. No way I'm trusting her to drag me out.

EDIT: chief is a chiefette, guys i wouldn't win in Minnesota courts thank you though.
