You want to see somebody that responds to your house, your emergency -- whether it's a medical call or a fire call -- that looks like you. It gives that person a little bit more ease, knowing that somebody might understand their situation better.
"Is she strong enough to do this?" Or, "You couldn't carry my husband out of a fire." Which my response is, he got himself in the wrong place if I have to carry him out of a fire.
