4 yr old Esme told her mom, she'd never seen female firefighters and was giving up on her hopes to be a firefighter, her mom put that out on Twitter. The West Midlands Fire Brigade responded to give the little girl the news that it's doable


Hannah Summers from London tweeted how her daughter Esme wished she was a boy so she could be a firefighter, as she only saw firemen in the books she read.

It prompted women firefighters across the country to post videos and pictures on Twitter to cheer her on




A 19-second video tweeted via @WestMidsFire has gone viral – helping to prove to girls around the world that they can be firefighters.

We recorded the video on mobile phones after Hannah Summers tweeted that her young daughter thought only men could be firefighters.

In just three days it reached the Twitter accounts of 2.3m people and had been watched by more than 1.1m!

.Esme, lots of our firefighters are girls and boys - some of them want to say hello to you! We would love to meet you and show you what we do. You can be a firefighter too! #firefightingsexism #thisgirlcan @NFCC_FireChiefs @StaffsFire @LondonFire Let's keep this going!
