It was a field once dominated by men, yet in 2023, more women are choosing to pursue careers in firefighting.

A fact the Plainfield Township Fire Department celebrated recently, noting in a Facebook post that women on staff at Station 3 Monday outnumbered their male colleagues.

Not a single one of them could pull my dead weight from a fire.

I am a man and I would do it if I weren't disabled. Tough rewarding work that requires strength, but most importantly, ability to make decisions during stressful moments. I wish them the best at it!
