S6.E2 | Sparking Change: Women Fighting Fire with Fire
About this episode
This episode explores how women are transforming the male-dominated firefighting profession and the impact of inclusivity on fire service.
What happens when women enter one of the most dangerous, male-dominated professions... and change it from the inside? In this episode of What Does It Profit , Dr. Dawn Carpenter goes from D.C. firehouses to wildfire lines to meet the women fighting fire with fire. At Camp Spark in Washington, D.C. , Lieutenant Roshawnda Drake is building a pipeline for the next generation of women firefighters. Out West, Lou Bean , Heidi Leib , and Ashley Nalley are reshaping wildfire response and prescribed burning, often in systems never designed with them in mind. Together, they show how women are reshaping the fire service and why a more inclusive culture can save lives.
