This year’s theme of the Pride Amsterdam is #YouAreIncluded. The theme is especially important for the work we do as Dutch Firefighters. As a fire department, we are always there for everyone, regardless of who they are or the situation. Therefore it’s important that people can recognize themselves in the firefighters. We want to be the reflection of society. “It is a uniform that fits for everyone”. Even though the people who work as firefighter are very diverse, we all strive for the same goal: to be there in all emergencies, ready to help, support and save those who need it. To complete this difficult task, it is also important to trust and depend upon your co-workers in every situation. It is necessary that you feel free to be yourself in order to achieve your full potential.
Unfortunately, there still are many preconceptions about firefighters. By our participation in the Amsterdam Canal Parade we want to show that the typical ‘firefighter’ does not exist. We stand for for everyone as an inclusive and diverse organization! Everyone should be able to be themselves and feel at home. We are proud of all our 25.000 colleagues in fire services.
