Woman files suit against fire school
She says supervisors set her up to fail while she was at Fresno academy.
By Chris Collins / The Fresno Bee
A single mom and professional mixed-martial arts fighter who says she was forced to resign from the Fresno Fire Department's training academy is suing the city for gender discrimination.
Michelle Maher, 37, says academy supervisors repeatedly asked her personal questions, set her up to fail certain tasks and unfairly graded an exam -- and that none of the male candidates was subjected to the same treatment.
