Mics & Sirens Episode 8

Episode 8 – Women leading the (fire) fight Women on the frontline was once a rare sight, but they are now a rising force in emergency services. It’s a change DFES and other fire agencies have, and continue to, champion. We sit down with the Department of Biodiversity Conservation and Attractions Allison Donovan and WA’s first female Level 3 Incident Controller who shares her insights about gender equality in firefighting and an initiative she’s working on to diversify the frontline. *This series was recorded live at the AFAC25 Conference in Perth. ----- Find us on: Facebook   / dfeswa   Twitter (X) https://x.com/dfes_wa Instagram   / dfes_wa   TikTok   / dfes_wa   LinkedIn   / department-fire-and-emergency-services   Youtube    / dfeswesternaustralia   Website https://www.dfes.wa.gov.au/ ----- Credits: Interviewer: Di Darmody Producers: Silvana Pulitano and Pippa Woolnough Guest: Allison Donovan, Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions ----- Transcript: For a full transcript of this episode, visit: https://bit.ly/4oAHTyO ----- This episode may contain reference to traumatic events.
