“Attention wives, girlfriends, and all significant others: Need some alone time? Drop your man off to us at 9765 Bel Alton Newtown Road. We have something for everyone, it’s free of charge, open 24/7, and you get some nice perks (free training, tax credits, and some fun too, of course). Email us if interested.”
That post was the brainchild of Sarah Hammett, President of Bel Alton Volunteer Fire Department.
“I was actually scrolling TikTok and saw a sports bar advertising ‘Husband Daycare – Football and Beer’ and thought to myself that would be a funny recruitment post if I tweaked it to fit the fire department.”
Hammett says that since firefighting is a male-dominated field, it can be hard to find things that can catch a female’s attention or post something that would make them laugh.
