4. In any time in your career has any male firefighter challenged your abilities as a woman firefighter?
5. Were you ever nervous knowning you are a woman going into a "male" dominate career?
6. When going through the application process did you ever get turned down for being a woman?
7. Have you ever had someone tell you that you wouldn't make it, because you are a woman? (Anyone you worked with or someone you knew personally or just came across.)
8. Is there anything specific that motivated you the most to become a firefighter?
9. Tell me one thing you find rewarding about being a firefighter?
10. What advice would you have for me, and other women going into the fire service?
I have a big favor to ask.. Are u a active firefighter in your state?? If so I have a report to do for my fire class about women in fire. I know you are a lol younger, but still it would be great for my project. I have to do an oral report, and I want to interview a female fighter. I have some question already generated. If you could help me I would greatly appreciated. Hope your having a great week also be safe, and take care.
Hi Holly,
Glad to see that you are keeping things safe up there in N.E.! I used to live in the Earleville area, Hacks Point to be exact, although I was not a member of the FD up there. Since I have become a part of the FD here in Oxford, I can say that I truly have another family as well! I'm glad to have become a part of the brother/sisterhood of the FD and I would like to have you as a friend here on FFN.
