Statistics
Currently, only 9% of firefighters nationwide are women, making them an underrepresented and underutilized group in the fire service. Minnesota fire departments are working together to change that by encouraging more women to explore firefighting as a way to help fill critical openings in departments across the state.
Shortage

More than 90% of firefighters in Minnesota are paid on-call or volunteer—and most have full-time jobs outside the fire service. They serve their communities in their free time, responding to emergencies like medical calls, fires, and accidents.
