Female firefighters
Female firies have been out in force as thousands of firefighters from Australia and New Zealand battled blazes on the frontline of the disaster. Katherine Robinson-Williams, who is 13 weeks pregnant, said she was proud to be part of the rescue effort.
“For all the females on the ground in NSW right now. We stand together we stand proud! Yes I am a firefighter,” she wrote on Instagram. “Yes I am a female. Yes I am pregnant. Yes I am going to the fires. And yes I’ll be alright. No I won’t just stay behind. No I don’t care if you don’t like it.”
