Firefighter Dolls
A doll based on the heroic actions of women firefighters! Triple F (Fierce Female Firefighters) plush dolls were created by a woman firefighter.

Lt. Tina Guiler, who has served in the Miami-Dade Fire Department as a firefighter, a paramedic, and a fire inspector for 24 years, wanted to create dolls to inspire little girls to join the profession she loves so dearly. In an age where representation matters, these dolls truly show that if you can see it, you can be it. With only 6% of all career firefighters being women, we have a long way to go until there’s equality in this male-dominated industry.
For every doll purchased, a percentage of the proceeds will benefit the Triple F Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit charity, which Lt. Guiler is the founder of. This foundation directly supports firefighters who are battling cancer or on-the-job injuries. Lt. Guiler, the Owner and CEO of Triple F, has battled breast cancer herself and designed the dolls to not only inspire young girls but to help firefighters in need.
