Interesting (video, 0:15). Why, you might well ask, was the female “firefighter” not carrying a ladder to the wall, when her male colleague was? Is it understood that in the event of a real fire, only the men will carry ladders? And what will happen if an all-female crew turns up? Will they just watch the building(s) burn down? Of course there never are all-female crews.

One final question. Why is there no gender pay gap in firefighting?
