Reply to comment by RotisserieChicken007 in Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service 'bans' use of fireman by nimobo

I think it’s because the term fireman “will not be tolerated” in spite of firemen existing. A male fire fighter can no longer refer to himself as a fireman. The chief said the term still sneaks into todays nomenclature and they won’t allow it.

There really aren’t more pressing matters than controlling how people describe themselves?
