N.J. Amputee Seeks Fire Job, I Say Yes!

 
His name is Isaac Feliciano, he runs a 12.5 second 100 meter, and he scored 106 out of 600 in the physical agility testing. I would be proud to have him on my engine. Story

Me too! My husband is a firefighter, and when I brought this story up at their station the general concensus was that they'd all feel nervous about having him on their crew. I was so disappointed in them! I just sent them the CNN video of that guy playing football, running stairs, and doing his CPAT. That should change their mind!

Atpand, thanks for the comment. I understand their apprehensions. My feeling is if Isaac walked into their station ready for work they would embrace him as a brother. Isaac's physical disiblity would eventually become invisible to them.
