Episode notes

In this episode, we talk with Jess Rogers, a trailblazing female firefighter, about her efforts to inspire the next generation of girls in this male-dominated industry. Less than 10% of firefighters in the United States are female, according to the National Fire Protection Association. Jess Rogers and her female colleagues are working to change that. Recently, Rogers held a camp in Apex to educate and motivate future female firefighters. She joins Jeff Hamlin to discuss the camp, her career, and the importance of increasing female representation in firefighting.
