Here in the States about 80% of Firefighers are volunteers. I'm a volunteer with Silverton Fire District in Oregon, and I love it. As a 60yo woman I work hard to stay fit so I can do what needs to be done. I do an annual 5K in my full gear, slow and steady. Above Average helps my motivation.
And we have an annual fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis called the Portland Firefighter Stairclimb. We climb 40 flights of stairs in full gear on air. I've won my women's age group (55+) the last 3 years because I'm the only one in it 😁
Seen theses lads on the grind, amazing stuff, ive lost 12stone to become a firefighter and now can say I'm in the service and being On call too, so I know where these lads come from, would love to share my story one day
