MaineFF920 of Wilton, ME Rocky, are you ignorant? Or are you just a sexist a$$ hole? We have a couple women on are department, and so do the departments surrounding us. To tell you the truth, some of these women work harder than some of the men. I could make a hour long argument for having women on fire departments but unfortunately I'm short on time. Perhaps the reason we don't have more female firefighters on our departments is because people like Rocky berade, critisize, and just plain disrespect women for who they are and the position that they have. He probably dosn't agree with female police officers either, but guarenteed that I know a couple that could VERY easily toss him around the room like a rag doll. Rocky, word of advice, THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK! And once again, good luck to Ms. Billing's!report abuse

fulla34 of no.anson, ME Rocky, your last comment makes it sound like you have no respect for woman. Dig your head out of your a$$, did you get stuck in time? This woman volunteers her time for others and got canned because of it. I hope she wins.report abuse
