SFDWA members are actively employed firefighters from all branches of service in the Seattle Fire Department, including suppression, investigation, prevention, EMS, management, and administration. Membership is open to individuals who are supportive of the concerns, conditions, and well-being of women in the fire service.
Non-active firefighters and retired members can be Honorary Members, and can participate in activities at the discretion of the SFDWA Board of Directors, but do not have voting privileges.
The Board of Directors have the authority to approve and terminate membership.
