“Some of the men in some of the stations in Norfolk were a little bit [like] “You’re a publicity stunt, you won’t last, you’re just here to make the brigade look good” and it hurt. I’d be crying when I was driving home. It just kind of gives you more energy to keep going when things are difficult” Jo Reynolds was Britain’s first female firefighter. She faced judgement and a pressure to prove herself to those who didn’t believe she was capable of doing the job because she’s a woman but ultimately found great strength in it. Let’s learn more about her story"

It was the first time I had met Alice,a serving firefighter. This LADbible show format has us asking each other questions that we hadn’t seen before picked up from the table between us. We then compared our experiences in our jobs, generations apart. Enjoy!
An early interview in 2017 with BBC World News. I was invited to their studio to talk live about Fire Woman being published. The piece included archive press photos from jobs, and their footage of me passing my HGV test to drive the fire engine.
