Dina Jones and Dana Bokobza were selected as the first women to be part of a commander course in Israel’s Fire Services.

“Dina is an amazing firefighter, with a lot of courage and ability to act under pressure. There aren’t many like her, even among her male colleagues,” said the chairman of the Israeli Professional Firefighters’ Organization, Yoav Gadasi.

“I’m already used to people looking at me in astonishment,” said Bokobza. “But I’m the proof that everything’s possible. I love my job, and for me to break through the flames is an instinct. I don’t even think about the dangers involved.”
