Managing diversity is a major issue in the workforce of the 21st century and the fire service department is also not completely free of such an issue. The community served by the fire departments must be identified and cared for (Ward, 2015). This is because the members of the community served by fire departments can consist of members from minority races, minority genders, minority ages, and low income-groups.
