Ask A Firefighter Lafd women fire chief defending poor athleticism

I forget the exact context of the video, but from what I remember, it is an interview with an LAFD deputy chief Kristine Larson. In the video, she states that if she needs to rescue somebody from a burning building then they shouldn’t even be there in the first place. Does anybody have a link to this video?

When you use dark humor you risk making a bad impression. I’m sure in real life she is willing to exert herself to save someone’s life and isn’t an overpaid admin.

She's a 50+ year old Chief who did her dues frontline for over 25 years prior. As a Chief and administrator she has no physical requirements for her current position. And yeah I agree about dark humor.
