Female firefighter inspires with dolls at Charlotte Southern Christmas Show
Nov 22, 2024
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Lieutenant Tina Guiler, a 25-year veteran firefighter is turning heads at the Southern Christmas Show with her Triple F Dolls — plush firefighter dolls designed to empower young girls. Triple F stands for Fierce, Female Firefighters, a nod to a traditionally dominant male profession. Just 6% of women are firefighters and Guiler is hoping to inspire the next generation of female firefighters that they can do anything.
Proceeds from the dolls benefit Guiler’s Triple F Foundation, which helps injured and ill firefighters. Guiler, a breast cancer survivor, says she is often met with surprise from girls that women can also be firefighters and hopes the dolls shows girls that they can do and be whoever they want — even become firefighters themselves.
Find the Triple F Dolls at Booth 2605 at the Southern Christmas Show at the Park Expo and Conference Center through November 24th, or shop online here.
