Are a lot of firefighters now incapable of doing their jobs? Or had the bars been set higher than they needed to be? I tend not to read the sad stuff in the paper, but I don't see a lot of stories about "people burned to death in building because firefighters [no matter which sex] not capable of rescuing them because too weak."

Depends on who you talk to. I don't think the job doesn't get done - but I have heard (second, third hand) that some of the guys resent having to do the bulk of the heavy lifting - which, of course, could simply be an attitude problem about women on "a guy's job", too.
I can tell you that the comp reports for the women in those jobs aren't good. Lots of strain injuries.
