When firefighters turn up to put out a fire, traditionally people expect them to be men. However, underneath the protective clothing, helmet and visor, there are more and more women. One such woman is Krystyna Krakowski. She became a firefighter in Florida in 2000, when there were very few women to work beside or guide her in the service. She is now not only successful but also recruiting more females into the profession.
