There are no glass ceilings in the Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service Department (BFRS).
In 2020, three females were promoted to the rank of captain Nina Taylor, Sarah Johnson, and Florence Bradley all attained the rank of captain in the department, which has more than 600 employees.
“These three women were all selected for captain because of their abilities to lead,” said BFRS Chief Cory Moon. “What these selections prove is that women don’t have that glass ceiling that has been assumed. It shows that females can lead just like males.”
Over 150 years, BFRS had only had two female captains.
