WHEN DEPARTMENTS DON'T REFLECT COMMUNITIES,
EVERYONE GETS BURNED
Modern firefighters spend around 95% of their time on medical emergencies - delivering babies, performing CPR, providing crisis intervention. When departments reflect community diversity, they build trust that saves lives.
Nationally, fire departments remain approximately 95% white and 96% male while serving diverse communities.
Equity on Fire is the only organization that brings pressure to change.
THe FORCES that BREAK INSTITUTIONAL RESISTANCE
LEGAL PRESSURE
Equity on Fire helps victims and attorneys strenthen their cases which can result in meaningful financial consequences. Departments are held accountable and pay attention when budgets are impacted.
