Mr Feliciano lost part of his left leg when he was six, but he still played high school sports and takes part in Paralympic games.
Do you think Mr Feliciano should be allowed to be a fire fighter? Why?
What do you think? Yes or No?
An amputee who lost half of one leg as a child is fighting to realise his dream of becoming a firefighter.Mr Isaac Feliciano's fight hit a road bump when city officials in Paterson, New Jersey, declared him to be not 'physically capable'. He finished 103rd among more than 600 candidates in a recent arduous physical test for the job, which included pulling a hose and carrying a life-size dummy while wearing a weighted vest.However, a medical consultant later ruled that he was 'not physically capable of sustaining the labours and exposure' of firefighting work.Mr Feliciano, 33, works at Cingular Wireless, training other sales representatives. He says his titanium-carbon fibre prosthetic leg is more resistant to heat and flame.He has dreamed of taking on the job since he was three, when a firefighter pulled him from a closet during a fire.
But when he was six, gangrene from spinal meningitis claimed his left leg below the knee.Despite his disability, he played high school football and baseball and participates in Paralympic competitions. Three doctors will make a recommendation to the state authorities in his case.

I think Mr Feliciano should not be the fire fighter because it is a dangerous job.The moment when he is putting out fire,maybe the fire would get him and let him die or let him become zaoda.The best idea is to be a doctor.Everybody like doctor because they help people from getting sick.Even murderer will please you to cure his illness.Then,he will find a way to thank you.Exsample,like protect you from another worst murderer.Some people will give you present for free.So I think Mr feliciano should be a doctor.Be the doctor is the best!

I don`t think Mr Feliciano cannot be a fire fighter because it is a dangerous job.Please do not be a fire fighter please,Mr Feliciano!
Now I not sure to choose.Some pupils choose yes and some pupils choose no.Now I am confused so I don`t know what to choose.
I relised be a fire fighter is wrong because it is dangerous job.The smoke from the fire is too poisonous to go into the building to rescue people.And it`s too heavy too carry the oxyen tank.So I think be a fire fighter is wrong.
I think that Mr Feliciano cannot be a fire fighter because he cannot run very fast so he need to wolfed down from the fire fighter car.
maybe cannot eeerrr...i don't think he could to be a firefighter because he may fall from the tall ladder when he is melting the fire. so i don't think he should be a firefighter.
Dear Ting Fang
I think you have used the phrase, 'Wolfed down' wrongly. It means to eat your food in a hurry. Would you please resubmit your comment again?
Cheers,
Mr Kok
Dear Ting Fang, Are you saying that you let Mr Feliciano eat the fire fighter car in a hurry?
