"I’ve been a firefighter at Springfield Fire Station in West Belfast for three years. I was one of the 33 people who got a job with the fire service out of 7,000 applicants. Everyone is shocked when they find out what I do – they expect firefighters to be burly men. I do a lot of work trying to change this though, by going into local schools and promoting the job to young girls. Some said they didn’t even realise women could do this, which shows there’s still a bit to be done. But we have skills men don’t, we can crawl into smaller spaces, and we’re naturally more compassionate, so can provide better emotional support to people who have just lost everything."
