Wildfires are perhaps the most-discussed type of fire in the general population. And with good reason: In 2023 alone, there were over 56,000 wildfires in the United States. Approximately 85% of wildfires are caused by humans. 

Today, there are over 90,000 female firefighters in the United States. While that is less than 10% of the overall firefighting force, that number has been rising in recent years.
