I was very happy to stumble upon this site and specifically, this article. I began my firefighting career over 2 years ago and felt that I could relate to some of what Samantha has gone through as well. Props to anyone else who wants to join too, and don’t let ANYONE say you can’t, especially just because you’re a girl. Always feels good to prove ‘em wrong eh?

Every since I was a little girl I always wanted to be a firefighter,but my mom made me quit liking it because she wanted me to do what she wants. Now Im 19 she still think Im stupid doing. If I try to get information to get in the fire department she always get mad at me. Its my dream to be one.

My name is amber, and i have always wanted to be a firefighter. Its my passion! i have just graduated from high school and fixing to start at the academy for training. I am kind of nervous about that because i am a small girl. A lot of people tell me i am to small and cant do this job…i will be the only female firefighter in my department… how do i prove myself to the guys that i can do it just as good as they can?

I must comment as well, I am a female fire fighter myself, I’m usually the only girl that gets in there and gets my hands dirty, and not afraid to do it. (which most of the guys are surprised and taken aback by that) I’ve been doing it since I was 16 and I’m 19 now. Its all volunteer which is what makes it all the better.
I totally understand where your coming from, at first a lot of the guys thought I shouldn’t be there or that I couldn’t keep up, but they thought different when I was dragging them behind me
You go girl, fire girls totally rule!!:d/:)>-

kellmichele – that is a huge step you just took and I’m very proud of you for having the courage to do that. I’m not 100% what your first move should be, but I would start by searching the Internet for other women who are firefighters and network with them for information and support. You are not alone in wanting to become a firefighter and there are women who have achieved the rank of battalion chief. Do some research and let us know how things work out. If you get discouraged, let us know and we’ll help as best we can. That’s what this site is here for.

This is to:babybee
I am happy that ur brother made it into an academy, I would die to but yet he says they are the weakest ones…they are doing the same thing, maybe at a slower pase but still getting it done. right? I like that how u are like I want to be one ahead…good for u. Trust me I’m in 2 fire departments and its great!! The criticism has stopped, I guess because I have showed that it does not bother me. We have been running calls like crazy. The other day me and my friend Mikey went on a structure fire and when we go there the trailer was gone…so our fellow firefighter told us to grab the line. We did and we put the fire out together..I was sweating like crazy but I enjoyed every minute. And take it from me, if you want to be a firefighter…DON’T LET ANYBODY TELL YOU, YOU CAN’T.:d
