At the MFS, we are calling on women to challenge expectations, rethink what’s possible, and explore a career that is both purposeful and rewarding.
We encourage women from all backgrounds to consider firefighting. The role values a broad range of strengths, including problem‑solving, teamwork, resilience, and a genuine commitment to community.
Potential looks different on everyone.

Tess's story
“Don’t hold back! It’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made”
Tess has been a firefighter with the MFS for two years, choosing a career where she could make a real impact in her community.

Now in a hands-on, active job where no two days are the same, she thrives on the challenge and loves working alongside like-minded people.
