The LMRFD seems more worried about people passing background checks, drug tests, and medical examinations and the possible liability for new volunteers and employees who may have a disability. As far as disabilities I thought the ADA made concessions for the disabled, apparently not in Dolan.
If the fire district wants to worry about something, worry about the out of shape and overweight firefighters. The EMT who showed up at my house was an easy 350 pounds.
Each year half of firefighter deaths from heart attacks not running into burning buildings like on TV.
I wonder if some of the current volunteers or employees could pass a physical exam and stress test.
Heart attacks were the leading cause of firefighter deaths in 2015.
