themselves have received, have been nothing short of amazing! The most common comment to me from both inside and outside of the fi re service is that people had no idea that women played such critical leadership roles at the local, state, and national levels of fi re and emergency services. It leads me to believe that fi re service leaders (men and women) need to do a much better job of communicating those facts. However, the feedback I’ve appreciated most has come from the featured women themselves. They sincerely enjoyed not only their own pro fi le, but those of their colleagues as well. I could not ask for more grati fi cation for my work. I’m glad this project was well received. It has been an honor for me to showcase these terri fi c leaders and role models for all to learn about. I wish all women who choose a career in any aspect of the fi re service community only the best. And Please Be SAFE! ImageI’m glad this project was well received.
