it just helps me become like a better
person and anything , not just
firefighting anything , just keep going .
Don't give up , you just got to keep
pushing . So at tech school there was
probably about 20 , females altogether
out of like 500 of us or something like
that . So it's very rare . Mhm .
We come in like sprinkles so you might
catch like , oh this one , you know ,
so I'm excited to see another female
coming in . I have a daughter , she's
eight , she sees me doing this and like
she , she's like , oh , I can do this
too . So I bring out the summer camps
that we host at our base and she loved
pulling the hoses , spraying all the
good stuff and you know , I love it .
And then you got other kids watching
you . So it's a drink , it's impacting
lives . Mhm Yeah , not everybody can do
that is going through tech school ,
It's , I've seen many of big dudes
strong got muscles , like a bodybuilder
types , they couldn't even make it
through and just , I made it through .
It just gives me like a sense of pride .
This job pushes you and you got to be
on point like at all times no matter
what , like we can get a call any day ,
you gotta get up and ready , you know
what you're going into , we gotta be
sharp . I've never been deployed with
the female firefighter until now , but
it's the same thing like back home . I
mean they do the same job that all the
male firefighters do having females in
the firefighting world , kind of gives
us an edge on emergencies that we would ,
we would go to say responding to a
female that doesn't want to talk to us
about specific things . We can have
this female firefighter or female
paramedic go in and talk to them and
they'll be more comfortable with that
female . It could definitely change the
aspect of any emergency when I got here .
They treat me like a little sister ,
like my big brothers , they take care
of me and they look out for me even
though I can hold , I can hold my own
weight because I got here by myself ,
but they helped me out a lot , they
teach me a lot , everybody in the fire
department teach you something
different and so everybody has made a
big impact from my base from the south ,
so like I learned a lot , so I've known
them for three weeks , but they're
really good people , they have a lot of
charisma and bring light and I'm really
liking what I have , being the leader
of his female firefighters
a rewarding job
as female you may think like
it's hard like , okay , I can't do this ,
but no , you can't do the same thing
they're doing and just compete . Yeah ,
