My EMT class of 30 some odd people only has about 5 girls. WAY more guys then girls. From what I've seen of the EMT-I and P students, they are about the same as us.

well...unfortuantely we have a small crew because we are a private transport company...we have 3 full time ladies...and 5 full time guys...i think it evens out somewhat...i don;t know...i dont think it should matter what the ratio is to a company...just as long as they do their job...that is all i care about.

I'm in the FDNY's first combined "Fire Suppression" and EMS operations "house." However, I'll restrict my response to the EMS side.

Of 52 personnel (EMTs, Paramedics, Lieutenants, and a Captain) for 3 BLS, 2 ALS, a"Conditions" (supervisor's) Car, and the captain, we have 2 lady Paramedics, and one EMT.
