Inspiring the next generation of female Tyne and Wear firefighters
Crew Manager Sarah, 35, is inspiring new firefighters at Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue's headquarters.
“I started when I was 19 - I think the services were a lot different back then, so I was one of a few young and female on the watch,” she said.
Sarah, who champions diversity within TWFRS, actively encourages more women to give the fire service a try and mentored Tara Dymyd, 36, during her training.
