That part reminds me of this scene from the show, Rescue Me. Not an exact correlation, but I think the point can be made that you want the best qualified in a job like FD Chief, and firefighters in general. Along the last lines of the video, I agree, I don't care what the firefighter looks like, color, ethnicity, etc., but they better be capable of carrying/dragging my fat ass to safety. Great show btw.
