WASHINGTON, May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Like many over the age of 45, Sandra Sokol's introduction to the fire service came from the 1970s TV show Emergency! Like many women, she juggled a career, motherhood and a divorce. Unlike many women, she also threw herself headlong into the volunteer fire service while taking on all those other responsibilities.
Key Points:
- Unlike many women, she also threw herself headlong into the volunteer fire service while taking on all those other responsibilities.
- She is also captain and president of a volunteer rural/suburban fire company that runs about 40 calls per month.
- The National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC) – the nation's leading association representing the volunteer fire, EMS, and rescue services – sat down with Sokol to dig deeper into what it means to be both a volunteer firefighter and a mother.
