Caitlyn Younger
This week as part of our International Women’s Day series we hear from Caitlyn Younger, a fourth year fire fighter with Burnaby Firefighters L323. Caitlyn is the first graduate of Camp Ignite to become a fire fighter. Here she shares words of encouragement for anyone considering joining the fire service.
“For anyone considering a job in the fire service, there’s a few different things you should look at. Of course there are the physical aspects - so go to the gym, do those things to better yourself, get that cardio in to build your strength up. Make sure you have the mechanical aptitude and take the steps to make yourself more aware. That’s just part of the job to know how certain things work and go together. I would honestly say you can do anything if you just put your mind to it.”
