Women in firefighting ๐ฅ๐ช
Retired Firefighter/EMT Georgia Daniels, 26 years of service.

"As a young girl growing up and looking into careers, firefighting was not mentioned or even an option. I feel fortunate to have found the path on my own to become a firefighter. It has been a wonderful experience to see the next generations of females be interested and motivated to do the work it takes to get hired. They seem to excel at it due to needing to go the extra mile to succeed."

Thank you Georgia for your service. Stay safe & God Bless. โค๏ธ๐โค๏ธ๐
There's a wonderful animated movie on Hulu called Fireheart about a girl named Georgia who wants to be a firefighter but can't, because she's a girl. Thank you for your service, Georgia!

Happy first day of Spring! Drip, Torch & Pat would like to remind you to always be thinking about outdoor fire safety.
- Burn piles should be 50 feet from structures or other flammable materials
- Keep burn piles small and manageable
- Avoid burning on dry, windy days
- Keep water, and a shovel and dirt nearby to extinguish the fire
- Always stay with your fire until itโs completely out
Remember, there are three websites you should always check before burning to ensure that youโre in compliance with local burning rules and restrictions:
For Graham Fire & Rescue burning regulations: grahamfire.org/burning-info/
For fire safety burn bans: www.piercecountywa.gov/982/Outdoor-Burning
For air quality burn bans: pscleanair.gov/168/Air-Quality-Burn-Ban-Status ... See MoreSee Less
