I am asking for your opinions.I am a 32 yo Volunteer firefighter in Baltimore County MD I currently have many certs and hold the position of Lieutenant. I also drive both a 1992 Spartan/4 guys a 1975 CF mack Engine and 1999 105' Rearmount Ladder truck. It has been life life goal to become a Baltimore City Firefighter but was denied the position due to the vision in my right eye. Even though I am covered under the Americans with Disabilities act. NFPA set a vision standard
and the city feels that I am a threat to other firefighters. I am going to continue my fight threw legal matter but I wanted to hear from other how they felt. I have been working on firegrounds with Paid/Career firefighters as a volunteer for 16 years but yet when I try to get paid for it I will then become a
threat.
Well what is your feeling on this. All I am asking for is honesty in your reply
PS My vision is 20/200 and not correctable at this time.
