The Country Fire Authority are being praised after sharing a photograph of a volunteer fire fighter breastfeeding her baby.
On Monday, the CFA posted a photo of Angela on its Facebook and Twitter accounts. Angela is wearing her firie outift, feeding her baby while smiling to the camera. "One of the many faces of CFA in 2016," the post reads. "This photo of Angela, a proud mum and CFA volunteer was taken at a community event. No fires nearby and a safe environment for her child."
More than 19,000 people had liked the photo just five hours after it was posted. The majority of commenters posted positive messages to the mum who sacrificed her time to save the homes of others. It isn't clear which community Angela volunteers in.

"As a firefighting volunteer and as a human this makes my heart happy," Facebook commenter Brent Hunter wrote. "Women truly are the real superheroes."
Commenter Kavita Vecchi added: "Raising a newborn and also volunteering for firefighters ... what an amazing person. Well done, you are a role model."
