Why Girls on Fire?

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.

How we do it 

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!


We focus on:

Camps & Training

At Girls on Fire camps, young people learn from real emergency service workers how to prepare for, prevent, and manage fire and emergency situations.

Mentorship

Girls on Fire connect participants with female leaders, Indigenous mentors, and disability advocates to show what’s possible.

Employment & Volunteering Pathways – Girls on Fire help young people explore careers and volunteer roles in emergency services.

Community Support

Girls on Fire work in regional and remote areas to make sure every community has skilled and confident people ready to help in a crisis.
