I am more of and follower ,and do as I am told. Our fellow fire fighter's all work to-gather a must.
A rookie may come in,and we show and tell the duties we have to do.So far,as a female fire fighter,the woman work
from the out side of a structure fire. I would not want to take the lead ,leave it up to more experience fire fighters than I.
To take the lead,that is for the guys......I could if ,the chief told me to do so.Brenda

Brenda

At No time do I beleive or will I ever beleive that females should fight the fire from the outside of the structure. We are no longer call firemen we are firefighters. A fire card means the same if it is a male or female, we all must protect people and property, with keeping safety in mind. As a women, you would have nothing to prove at our firehouse. Keep looking up, keep learning, and keep training. God Bless you!
