The resolution introduced by a group of Pennsylvania legislators designates the week of June 22 through 28, 2025, as "Women Firefighters and EMS Workers Week" in the state. It acknowledges the vital roles that firefighters and emergency medical service (EMS) workers play as first responders in emergency situations, highlighting the historical contributions of women in these fields, including their service as nurses during significant conflicts like the Civil War and World War II. The resolution also addresses the challenges women face in these professions, such as stigma and skepticism regarding their capabilities, and emphasizes the importance of breaking down barriers to encourage diversity and retention in the workforce.

Furthermore, the resolution recognizes the growing presence of women in firefighting and EMS roles, noting that they currently represent about 9% of firefighters and 31% of the EMS workforce in the United States. It calls for efforts to eliminate stigmas and promote inclusivity in these professions, celebrating the accomplishments, leadership, and bravery of women who serve as firefighters and EMS workers in Pennsylvania.
