Picture this...a high school student in Brandon, Manitoba, working as a lifeguard part-time and loving the exposure to life-saving through Red Cross training. She picks up a pamphlet about paramedicine. Yes, an actual paper pamphlet, because this was before the web - and she decides to take an emergency medical course while still in high school.
One course. One shiny fire truck. And just like that...she found her calling.
That decision launched a remarkable career spanning more than twenty-five years in the fire service.
Sarah Peto became just the second woman ever hired by Brandon Fire & Emergency Services, helping pave the way for the women who would follow. Today she serves as Acting Captain, is the first woman to serve on Brandon Fire's executive team, and in 2023 founded Fire Service Women Central Provinces (FSWCP), creating a network that connects, supports, and elevates women across the Prairies and Central Canada. https://www.fswcp.ca/
