we have an incredibly diverse department still, nicholson says, there's more work to do. i mean, 15% sounds like a great number. it's still only 15%. there's bias that exists in this world, and there's always going to be people that will doubt us. we have to meet the same physical standards, the same mechanical standards. we have to meet the same standards that the men do. so we know san francisco is leading the nation, but how does the rest of the bay area stack up? we survey 20 of the largest fire departments, 17 responded, telling us how many of their firefighters are women. mountain view came in second, not far behind san francisco at 12%, but it drops to single digits from there, with palo alto, berkeley and sunnyvale all below 10% women. the middle tier includes oakland fired at around 6% and santa clara county at seven and a half. an agency that also has a female chief bringing up the rear. five fire agencies, all under 4% women, including san jose, alameda county and contra costa county. at the very bottom is hayward. what's your reaction? was there a surprise? di
