Posted 3 months ago I wanted to address the issue of "Colored Blindness" as a reason to deny a person entry into Fire Fighting. This is after he became a Graduate, but was advised he coulnd't sit for the test. It is on the application for entry to the unit. But, is this standard? The reason I say this, is because I am color blind (red-green) and I have only had trouble in the Aviation ratings in the Navy. There is a reason for that, but what is the reason for it in Fire Fighting? I know it is not standard on all application requests. thanks and be safe;. Skeeter |

| Posted 3 months ago I wouldn't call it standard. I work with several color blind FF and medics. Never had a problem. The largest room is the room for self improvement |
