Alongside the hashtag '#firefightingsexism', firewomen (and some men, too) shared their experiences of their work and photos of their teams to encourage Esme to join them when she gets older.Good morning! I heard your four y/o #daughter was discouraged because she felt she had to be a boy to be a #firefighter.
In #Vancouver??, we have awesome firefighters who happen to be women! & Nanaimo’s @Karen_Fry is a great Chief who happens to be a woman! Pic @StraithDane pic.twitter.com/wAr7akTLwI — Fire Chief Darrell Reid (@FireChiefReid) January 19, 2019
