We’re creating a sustainable movement of empowered women, diverse allies, and resilient communities in fire and emergency services. We’re empowering young people to find future work and volunteering pathways and greater community connection through learning firefighting and disaster management skills.
Girls on Fire helps girls and young people (ages 14-18) learn about emergency services like firefighting, rescue work, flood management, and disaster response. We teach important skills to help communities stay safe during emergencies like fires, floods, and storms.
Girls on Fire gives young people hands-on experience in emergency services via our fire camps. We offer one day and two day school programs, cultural programs, inclusion programs, and eight week vocational programs.
Our aim is to encourage more girls and young people from underrepresented backgrounds into emergency services and community volunteering. All while we help young people build confidence, resilience, and teamwork skills, showing them how they can make a real difference!
Camps & Training
