Pray no one you love lives in her area-Meet the seemingly unfireable female firefighter

Meet the seemingly unfireable female firefighter | New York Post:
"She’s the Teflon probie.
Despite failing a required FDNY running test five times, Wendy Tapia was allowed to graduate from the Fire Academy and become a firefighter.
On Dec. 2, she is taking the test for an unprecedented sixth time.
Tapia was one of only five women among 285 new firefighters who graduated from the FDNY’s Randall’s Island training academy on May 17.
The class was hailed as the most diverse group of rookies ever, all of them EMTs or paramedics seeking promotion to firefighter.
She joined a group of just 35 women among the 11,000 Bravest."
