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

just seen your page and thought i'd say hi.. stay safe

oh and my reason for this career is not adrenaline its geting as close to god as i can and then walk away

i hear maryland is like the worst state to qualify for fire depts in

"The adrenaline...sorry sounds selfish but its true"

If I only responded to calls on days I was really in it to help people... I wouldnt be responding much lol. Sure I like helping others but this job is all adrenaline for me! Anybody that tells you too much different is lying. TCSS

im an adrenaline junkie too.good luck going towards a career in the fire service.stay safe

Thanks Melissa !!And welcome to FFN

Thanks for serving in the military and thanks for your continuing to serve.
We all have a need for that adrenaline rush (at least I think so). I can't respond anymore and that's a hard adjustment. My son (also a paramedic/firefighter) and his wife (paramedic/firefighter) presented me with a grandson over the week-end. Now I really feel old. Enjoy it while you can!

Melissa thanks for the add!!!!
