Tina Guiler has been as a Lieutenant for the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue since 1999. She is a firefighter, paramedic and fire inspector. She also co-manages the prominent Facebook group "Fierce Female Firefighters," which was originally founded in 2013 by her colleague and friend. This group was created as a supportive platform where female firefighters could convene to tackle common issues in the fire service and support one another. The private group has over 7,200 female firefighters from 58 different countries. It is the largest social media group and support network for women in the fire and EMS services. She also designed the female firefighter plush dolls to help inspire & empower little girls and show them they can be anything, even a firefighter.
