My respect towards this woman is incredible.

[@chloemarsh6526]

Hey! if you are a women watching this wondering if you should be a firefighter go for it. The fire companies near my hometown have very little women there. But they do respect them very much.

HI

[@dylanjames2994]

[@VeeZee777]

She's my hero!!!

[@blaxerx]

[@hsmith3844]

I trained alone and with the young kids when I started after 9/11 I was 46yrs old and served as an EMT/FF for 15 years

[@chelacala7320]

Damn imagine having strength

[@Sycosoulreaver]

And you slammed the ladder to raise it. Get it girlfriend

[@patrick9440]

it is all fun and games until a fire comes in, then the women need to step back while the men go to work.

Bruh she fit af what are you talking about?

@@welp55 hope she sees this bro jokes about simps aside, men do the heavy work in actual fires

It's one thing to do lots of career changes... but what matters is did you add value? Did you change career because you excelled and had nowhere to go... or were a loser? There's nothing wrong in winning or losing... but there's something wrong in misappropriating myths for personal gain.

Youre a freak

Thank God it’s none of your business what someone else does with their fucking life.

But can you pull a full grown man out of a house fire, hope that doesn't come across sexist butt I doubt 130 lb man could pull full grown man out of a house fire.

[@laurenlutzel1280]

She’s a firefighter so obviously yes. She carried the dummy and most dummies weigh 165lbs (the average adults weight). During her training she had to do simulations dragging or lifting dummies or other firefighters with their gear on out of structure fires in nearly pitch black rooms. So she can definitely pull a grown man out of a house fire. Sometimes a persons weight is deceiving. I look weak as hell but if I need to carry my 160lb boyfriend bridal style I can 😂😂

[@chelacala7320]

I mean they do have to train for that and pick up hell in order to actually make the cut. Unless you’re obese as hell, then that’s your fault for getting that fat.

[@vajeye-nar6172]

@@laurenlutzel1280 your boyfriend is a boy not a man if he weighs 160lb

[@SirenQueenWrites]

@@vajeye-nar6172 Let me introduce you to the concept of: short and or skinny men. Wow, i know. Such a novelty

[@oscarbetancourt6366]

why do i get the feeling she likes women. not that there's anything wrong with that.

[@lyricflowergaming432]

We all know u got special treatment during training so u would past women can’t handle the real training like men I sure as hell know I wouldn’t want a woman saving me by the time she gets the door down I’d already be dead

[@DearGodItsMeAng]

Hey,,,,,, your misogyny is showing. Might wanna put it away, it’s 2019

[@km-kl3lg]

And I Sure as hell know that my fire dept. trains women and men the same and somehow all of us managed. 😉

[@ashcrypto5781]

What is it 1940? Shut the hell up .🥴

[@pinkorangesoda]

I don’t think if you were in that situation you would give 2 craps of the gender of who saved you.

[@chloemarsh6526]

I’m very sorry for you. I really hope you see things differently one day. It’s hard to live such a life full of hate.
