Back when FDNY had Open Competition. Ie: Open to the public. "Off the street" , so to speak.

How many women belonged to the New York City Fire Department on 9/11?
There was a very small number. [There were] 11,000 or so [firefighters in the FDNY], and there were approximately 25 [female] firefighters. Our numbers were very tiny. When I won my lawsuit and I brought women into the FDNY in 1982, there were 42 of us. Now there are 29.
This is how they do it now. Closed Competition. AKA "No fail promo."

This was a point with the FDNY fitness test being found to be entirely unrelated to the job, and the standards kept high.
