Girls on Fire is an incorporated not-for-profit association on a mission to build emergency resilience and response capacity in individuals and communities.
We do this via fire and emergency services training for girls and under-represented groups aged 14-19. And through visible advocacy and community engagement in fire, emergency and disaster prevention, preparedness, management and recovery.
Founded in NSW in 2016 by firefighter and girls participation advocate Bronnie Mackintosh, Girls on Fire is now partnering with National Australia Bank to further develop and scale as an organisation with a vision to expand nationally. This has recently been supported by Australian Business Volunteers via the Community Strategy Challenge for NAB and Girls on Fire.
Create a sustainable movement of empowered women and people from diverse backgrounds in fire and emergency services, contributing to inclusive and resilient communities.
Deliver evidence-based cultural immersion, fire and emergency programs, designed to inspire young people to pursue volunteering and career opportunities, and empower them to take an active role in building community safety and resilience.
As part of our commitment to visibility, transparency and accountability, Girls on Fire is sharing our goals for the 2022 to 2025 period.
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land where we work and live. Girls on Fire pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. We celebrate the stories, culture and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders of all communities who also work and live on this land.
