Sheena is a warrior. Take a look at the Facebook page she created titled, Facing the Fire: My 46 Page Resignation"After almost 20 years in the Fire Service I found myself in a place where I had to speak up against the Brotherhood. I’ve dealt with stressful situations my entire career. This was by far the most stressful time and ultimately lead to the most difficult decision I had to make - leaving a career, a profession, that I loved. Life has an interesting way of keeping something in your life, until you acknowledge it. I was a woman in a male dominated industry - I was not accepting of this for many years. I didn’t want to separate myself. But as a woman in the fire service you are subjected to a world that, still to this day struggles to include and encourage women....my mission is to bring attention where it is needed. To stand up for those who are stuck because they know standing up will have a negative impact on their career. To stand up for women who just want to come to work, do the job, and be included. Essentially I found myself at the messiest fire scene I had ever been at. My initial size up was these guys were jerks. But my full report showed Harassment. Bullying. Retaliation. Discrimination. Alienation. Failed support resources. No accountability. Resignation."
