Group of female firefighters reveal some of the everyday comments they receive

A group of female firefighters have revealed some of the everyday comments they receive including: ''you can’t do that – you’ll ruin your face’'. The female blaze tacklers have spoken out about fighting misconceptions over their roles in the hope it might encourage others to join the service.
