Women explore firefighting at Brighton Fire Department Female Firefighter Field Day
BRIGHTON, N.Y. (WROC) — The Brighton Fire Department held its second annual Female Firefighter Field Day on Sunday. Through the event, women in the community were invited to the station to participate in immersive activities to learn about the jobs of volunteer firefighters. The event was held at the fire station located at 3100 East Avenue from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Participants were allowed to wear firefighting gear, use the 'jaws of life' in different activities, spray fire hoses, explore a maze, and hear stories from current firefighters at the station. OCSO participates in Drug Take Back Day News 8 spoke to Alannah Scardino, a Brighton Volunteer Firefighter, on Sunday, about the mission to expose women to the field. 'I think why we wanted to have a hands-on event is because for a lot of women in the community, they see the physical aspect of firefighting as a barrier,' Scardino said. 'We just want to give women in the community the opportunity to really see what their own capabilities are in a very safe, fun, and supportive environment.' Brighton Fire Department Chief Stephen Macadena mentioned Sunday is also recognized as Recruit New York Day across the state. 'It's amazing. It makes my heart feel really full just because I know how much the fire service has given me and has really strengthened me in my own personal life and personal skills,' Scardino said, 'So being able to expose the fire service to more women so that maybe it's something that sparks joy in one or a couple of them, that's super rewarding.'
