The Women on Fire event is being held in Tecumseh on Saturday.
An event in Tecumseh this weekend aims to get more women into, what are historically, male jobs.
The Tecumseh Fire and Rescue Services is hosting the second annual 'Women on Fire' event on Saturday for women looking for jobs such as firefighters, paramedics, police, border officers and Canadian Armed Forces.
It will expose women, 18 years and older, to physical testing and the chance to ask questions of women already on the job.
Brittney Korman, 18, attended the event last year and is currently enrolled to become a paramedic.
She says the event was valuable because she got a first-hand look at what it would be like to be a first responder.
Korman tells AM800 News this is about thinking outside of the box.
"A lot of females, we are always pushed possibly be in an office or a teacher, and just to think about being a first responder, I didn't realize how females were actually in that career path," says Korman.
