Week-long IFE campaign celebrates achievements of female fire engineers

Running from 21-28 June, the campaign is shining a spotlight on women working across the fire engineering profession, recognising the expertise, leadership and innovation they bring to the sector and, indeed, the vital role they play in creating a safer built environment.

Throughout the week, the IFE is sharing stories from female members representing a range of countries, career stages and professional specialisms. These member spotlights highlight precisely how women are helping to advance fire safety and drive professional standards.

The campaign also explores how IFE membership has supported the professional development of female fire engineers, providing opportunities to connect with peers, access learning and development resources, gain professional recognition and contribute to the wider fire safety community.

Supporting greater diversity

As a global professional membership body representing upwards of 15,000 members, the IFE is committed to supporting greater diversity across the fire sector.

The campaign features women from across the UK, Australia, the United States of America and South Africa, showcasing the breadth of talent and expertise that exists throughout the global fire engineering community.

By celebrating the work of female fire engineers across its global membership, the IFE is highlighting the expertise that strengthens fire safety today and inspiring the women who will shape the sector tomorrow.

Networking Group

Professionals can also join the IFE’s Women’s Networking Group, which provides a supportive community for women across the fire sector, creating opportunities to connect, share experiences, develop professionally and inspire the next generation of fire engineers.
