Fire Fighter?

I went to the Hong Kong Dragon Boat festival yesterday. Pretty interesting event. There was a booth there for the Fire Department of New York, and I went up and talked to them. I always wanted to be a fire fighter when I was younger. They said that there's actually no height requirement (I'm 5'1) and that they recruit once every 4 years so nows my chance. I think I'm gonna try it out. What do you guys thing?

  3. You should if you really wanna do it. I think that the requirements are more based on your stamina, strength, pace etc. than your height (being shorter could have its advantages in a fire-fighting situation!).

  7. Go for it, you'll be fit and people will respect you. No one has ever written a song called "Fuck the firefighters".
