Handbooks on women in firefighting --
Free from FEMA

The U.S. Fire Administration in November of 1999 published two handbooks written by Women in the Fire Service:

Many Faces, One Purpose: A Manager's Handbook on Women in Firefighting,

and

Many Women Strong: A Handbook for Women Firefighters

These booklets update and replace the 1992 document, The Changing Face of the Fire Service. Both may be ordered free of charge from the USFA's Web site (use their search function from there) and we encourage you to do so.

For samples of the kind of material you will find in the handbooks, see our "On the Issues" pages.
