International Women's Day 2021

Northamptonshire Fire & Rescue Service is marking International Women’s Day on March 8 by highlighting the excellent work that women are doing in the service. Whether it is tackling blazes, helping to prevent potential incidents or making sure firefighters are equipped properly – there’s truly a role in any department for women who may want to consider joining. The fire service is on a continual journey to ensure that it is as welcoming and inclusive as possible for everyone, regardless of gender, sex, race or religion. The video features some of our firefighters and staff talking about perceptions and de bunking some myths around being a woman in the fire service.
