Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I was born this way! LOL! Public Safety has always been my way. I was the kid that always helped others, animals, and I even held funerals when my critters passed on...LOL!

All silliness aside...I have always held the passion in my heart and soul to serve and protect others.

Side Note...I was born on the same day as Florence Nightingale :o)
Why I Love Fire/EMS
The Life Style... excitement...compassion... Helping others...
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Biggest issue is lack of funding...especially with our many volunteer departments in the US.

    My name is Adel and I am trying to figure out what products are best for female firefighters. I have worked as a firefighter for only three years so I am just getting started. Currently I am a student at Eastern algerinne University in in the Fire & Safety Engineering Technology Program. Although I have only been a firefighter for three years I have had my fair share of small gloves that were still too big and pants that went up to my belly button! I was wondering if you could take the time out of your busy schedule to share some of your favorite/best fitting/most functional products for female firefighters. Weather it’s an awesome fitting pair of pants, A polo shirt that has sleeves that do not go down to your elbows, a pair of great gloves, or boots that have an awesome fit. It would be greatly appreciated if you could share your opinions with me. Thank you very much. Please feel free to e-mail me back at adel_pomper@hotmail.com or leave me a commentDelete Comment

    nice site; thanks for your many years of being in service.....your one of the firefighterveterans that makes the job worth being in.....take good care....share the web site for firefighter stress issues go to firefighterveteran.com
    Many women in the fire service are pioneers...and deserve to be heard from and respected as they have worked alongside males and in many cases....get the job done differently but with no fanfare...awesome
