Quote

“Being a woman, I challenge the normal stereotype of a firefighter on a daily basis. As a female firefighter, I am treated like any other individual, which is great as I don’t want any special treatment that the men wouldn’t get. I worked hard to become a firefighter by training hard in the gym – and I think that my previous job as prison officer prepared me for dealing with the unpredictable and sometimes unpleasant shifts.”
