What happened: Female firefighters taking part in a Women-in-Fire Training Exchange program—intended to promote "mental health and gender diversity and inclusion"—accidentally caused an "out of control" forest fire in Banff National Park.
Residents in the surrounding areas were evacuated and several buildings were damaged on May 3 after the female firefighters initiated a prescribed burn that quickly escalated into an uncontrolled blaze.
Context: Banff National Park is in Canada, where South American migrants have been fleeing to escape the lawless squalor of America's big cities.
What they're saying: Days before the conference, local news outlets were celebrating the women's fire conference for its efforts to "break down barriers in [a] male-dominated industry." The 12-day training program was described as "an opportunity to engage participants of all different genders, ethnic, and racial backgrounds to explore the growing role of women in fire management."
Jane Park, the female "fire management specialist" who helped organize the conference, described the group of women who accidentally started the forest fire as the "cream of the crop." A former grad-school ski bum, Park said the training program was an opportunity for female firefighters to showcase the "value" of "diversity" in order to "build allies" among "men and people who are in the majority."

“There was a video in the 1990s or early 2000s of females trying out for the LA fire dept, it was hilarious watching them trying to put up ladders and get over walls.
Unfortunately, I have never been able to find it on youtube.”
Would this be the video?

Ha ha
Physics and mother nature don’t give a darn about diversity inclusion and equality. OR your feelings.
I went down, down, down
in a burning ring of inclusivity.
They must have found the sour cream.
I want to see a 120 lb woman drag a 250 lb man out of a fire.
Good choice, Benny Hill was great.
I suppose it was bad of me to Laugh Out Loud about this?
Too many college days and Korean BBQ visits. Fat woketard.
Don’t blame yourself for that; setting backfires are COMMAND DECISIONS, the time and locations are all chosen at the Fire Command Center.
By the 80’s all the people who occupied those Command Centers had COLLEGE DEGREES and were smart (but had never fought anything bigger than a single match) but had never fought a WILDFIRE on the ground in person.
SOME TIMES EDUCATED IS JUST ANOTHER WORD FOR STUPID!

Been there. My daughter-in law is from Calgary.
Banff is very nice.
That’s right. No club control laws. No hate crime laws. Law of the jungle, no lawyers.
