- Why I Joined the Fire/EMS:
- Through elementary, middle, and high school I had a close friend who was a victim of on-going child abuse. I joined Law Enforcement Explorers when I was 14 so I could become more comfortable around police officers and get up the courage to have something done about her situation. After a few years, an arson investigator encouraged me to take a look at the fire service, which in turn later got me into EMS...

My name is Amanda and I am trying to figure out what products are best for female firefighters. I have worked as a firefighter for only two years so I am just getting started. Currently I am a student at Eastern Kentucky University in in the Fire & Safety Engineering Technology Program. Although I have only been a firefighter for two years I have had my fair share of small gloves that were still too big and pants that went up to my belly button! I was wondering if you could take the time out of your busy schedule to share some of your favorite/best fitting/most functional products for female firefighters. Weather it’s an awesome fitting pair of pants, A polo shirt that has sleeves that do not go down to your elbows, a pair of great gloves, or boots that have an awesome fit. It would be greatly appreciated if you could share your opinions with me. Thank you very much. Please feel free to e-mail me back at amanda_cherry4@eku.edu or leave me a comment.
Stay Safe,
Amanda Cherry
Sounds like you have your future off to a good start. Best of luck to you. Take care and stay safe.
Be safe,
