The commissioner of London Fire Brigade, Dany Cotton, is unhappy that the stereotype of the sexy muscle-bound fire officer bloke is putting off the ladies from applying to join the service.
I don't think this is a recent stereotype. Whenever there has been a fire alarm at any place I worked requiring a fire engine to turn up, the ladies in the office have always taken a keen interest in the chaps that got out of the fire engine. The fireman is a staple trope of the male stripper industry.
