Florida city features father-daughter firefighting rescue team

A fire in an attic may not be the way most people start their day, but for rookie Tampa firefighter Lauren Glanton, it seems to come naturally. "That was my alarm clock," she said. "It was fire time, time to rock and roll!" Answering the call runs in the family. "Broken legs, gunshot wounds, overdoses and everything else," said Lauren’s dad, Larry, a Tampa Fire Rescue paramedic who has seen it all during his 24 years with the department.

How Firefighter Barbie is helping Dorset and Wiltshire service attract women

A BARBIE doll is helping Wiltshire's fire service bridge the gender gap. This month, a station in the south of the county took an innovative approach to tackling the problem – sharing a photo of one of its firefighters with a full face of makeup and painted nails, replicating the look of the famous toy she was holding. It attracted national attention – and was accompanied by the statistic that only 4 per cent of firefighters in the world are female. Now Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service's most senior ranking female, area manager Kathy Collis, has commented on the recruitment drive.
