96% of U.S.., firefighters are men, and 82% are white, according to the U.S., Fire Department Profile survey: https://www.nfpa.org/-/media/Files/News-and-Research/Fire-statistics-and-reports/Emergency-responders/osfdprofile.pdf
Ok so like everything else tv is over representing
This is why Democrats think 50% of America is black, 30% is gay, and 10% are trans.
They are genuinely stunned to hear it's 13%, 5-10%, and 1%
So... 'at least 4% of firefighters are likely to be completely unable to pass the strength and fitness requirements for the job' is what I read from this.
