Ch 4, on Fri, 21-Nov-2003, ran a story about the four women now making their way through FDNY firefighter training. Included in the story was a simplified explanation about the EMS track which bypasses the traditional requirements

I've made copies of the broadcast and put them on the webserver.

The audio is a 900k "mp3" file, and should take about four minutes to download over a regular phone line.

The videos are in Apple "QuickTime" format, using various compressions. The smallest video is 4 megs and will take about 12 minutes; the middle quality is about 7 meg and will take about 20 minutes; the largest is about 43 megs and will take about 2 hours.

(Of course, on a high speed connection, things will go much faster, so even the big ones should be ok)

Most browsers should automatically handle the mp3 audio. To view the video, you may need a copy of QuickTime which can be downloaded from Apple, in both a Mac and a Windows version, by clicking: here
