Join Conversations Ignite for a powerful episode featuring retired fire captain and award-winning author Cindie Schooner-Ball, as she shares her incredible journey through 28 years in the fire service.


In her memoir, Sister in a Brotherhood, Cindie details what it took to rise through the ranks of a major South Florida fire department as one of the few women in the field. From high-stakes emergency calls to the camaraderie of the firehouse—and the moments she had to fight for respect—her story is one of resilience, purpose, and leadership.


Hear what it really means to serve on the front lines, what she learned about building successful teams, and why she encourages women everywhere to pursue careers they’re passionate about—even in spaces where they’ve been told they don’t belong.


Whether you're in public service or simply need a dose of inspiration, this episode will ignite something in you.
