Stories from My Life as a
Female Firefighter
Cindie Schooner-Ball
Inspiration from a Life as a First Responder
Throughout her career, Cindie Schooner-Ball had been asked so many questions about how she managed to excel while working in this male-dominated profession that she decided to write Sister in a Brotherhood to share her story. Cindie recognized early that in order to succeed as both a firefighter and a woman would require perseverance, grit, and the ability to command respect.
You will understand why firefighting is Cindie’s calling and passion when you read this inspiring book. She shares memorable moments in working and living with other first responders who are dedicated to helping people in crisis. Cindie encourages anyone who wants to serve — especially women who have the desire to enter this noble profession — to pursue their dream, as she did.
