Currently serving Jasper County Fire Rescue in south Carolina along with Charleston County EMS.
when I first started in 1989 it was 14,261 a year and now mid 60's. Up in the East Coast and West coast it is considerably higher due to the cost of living. We currently have 2 female fighters and one of them had a baby last year and back at woork.

As long as it would not impede you from performing the rigorous tasks that could be required no. After all it is treatable.
Share Answer: 
Pretty much no. OSHD Standard 1926.152 should have the clarification you need.
Share Answer: 
You need to keep in mind that you were directed to attack from the 4th floor from a higher authority so there is no freelancing in the fire service. Every defensive attack is different. Is there burning embers that are of concern that you couldnt reach from 2nd floor thus attack from the 4th floor. To broad of a question to give a certain answer.

Are you pressured by administrators to pass kids that aren't ready yet?
I would have to probably say no. Reason being is OSHA requires us to be tested early to be able to blow in a device that measures total lung capacity. If you can not achieve desire results you are not allowed to use a SCBA thus not fight fire interiorly in a building. But that does not stop you from performing in other areas of a fire dept operation.
