Less than 5% of firefighters are female. The average female earns 72% of what the average male earns. I am embarking on a new photography project to capture these dedicated women, inspired by two women I know who happen to be at opposite ends of the experience ladder. One is in training as a Candidate, the other has achieved the status of Chief. And she is one of only three female Chiefs in Illinois. Let all that data sink in. Add that I am 100% jazzed to be moving forward with this. If you know a female firefighter please put them in touch with me. I have pretty great connections but I’m always looking for more. This is a test shot from a training session where candidates had to cut through Rebar with a circular saw. #femalefirefighter #sparkjoy #sparksflying #documentary #firefighter #sisterhood #firefighters #circularsaw #nikon #nikond4s
