64% of calls to which firefighters are directed are medical emergencies because firefighters are usually qualified to handle those emergencies. They are purposefully directed there by dispatching centres.
We should have more ethnic diversity only in ways that are proportionate to the population; diversity for diversity's sake is pointless, it's just unfair to exclude women and ethnic minorities for no reason.
I agree that the original article was lacking. I found it too brief, and it didn't include specific enough accounts.

Everyone in the comments has fallen for sensationalist headlines instead of reading the damn article.

After reading the article, it seems that the problem is that white male firefighters are disproportionate to the general population, and so it creates problems within the profession for nonwhite or female firefighters, who have to prove themselves further than just passing what is necessary to become a firefighter. It causes problems within the job.
For U.S. firefighters, 96% are male and 82% are white. In the U.S. military, 85% are men and 60% are white. In U.S. local police forces, 88% are men and 73% are white.
Apparently, only 4% of emergency calls to which the fire department responded were actual fires. 64% were medical emergencies. In this case, it makes less sense for it to be male-dominated.

Oh, well in that case, I definitely do not think that all girls are like this.

Yes, it's true. Threats of physical violence are seldom taken seriously when they come from women. This sexism hurts men when their cries for help aren't taken seriously.

There's so much that is easy to fix, but won't be fixed, because of greed. The reason cows emit so much methane is due to the corn based feed they are fed. It's possible to keep eating beef, but the people who profit from corn won't have it. In China and India, that industrialisation can be done responsibly if the people who run the factories were more responsible. The companies in places other than India and China profit hugely over the irresponsible manufacturing of goods by purchasing and selling goods bought ridiculously cheap.

But honestly, there's a lot of beauty in some of the older architecture, as well as the nature.
