Year Released
2018 (Set 60173 Mountain Arrest)
Rarity
Uncommon; while the parts are generic, this specific combination appeared in a single high-priced set.
Head
Yellow head with female face, brown eyebrows, eyelashes, and a smiling mouth with teeth. Topped with a red baseball cap and ponytail hair mold.
Torso
Black firefighter jacket torso with neon yellow reflective stripes and silver buttons; however, the torso is partially obscured by the life jacket accessory. Features black arms and light bluish gray hands.
Legs
Black legs with neon yellow and silver reflective line printing on the thighs; black hips.
Accessories
Bright orange life jacket (wrap-around chest piece) and a red ponytail baseball cap (molded as one piece).
Color Scheme
A combination of emergency service colors: black and neon yellow for the uniform, bright orange for the safety gear, and red for the headgear.
Printing Details
Standard pad printing for City minifigures from the late 2010s; high-visibility reflective stripes are crisp, though printing is localized to the front of the legs.
Variants
Several similar female firefighters exist in the City theme; this specific variant is distinguished by the combination of the ponytail cap and the life jacket.
Condition Notes
Life jacket can cause minor scratching to the torso printing if removed frequently. Watch for 'clipping' marks on the neck peg from the life jacket accessory.

Character Background
A member of the City Fire Department specialized in mountain or river rescues, designed to interact with the helicopter and watercraft in the mountain sub-theme.
Design Notes
Incorporates the 'modern' fire suit aesthetic introduced around 2016-2017 with more realistic utility detailing compared to the 'Classic' fire logos of the 2000s.
Similar Minifigures
cty0947 (another firefighter variant from the same set), cty1078 (Firefighter with different headgear), and various Coast Guard female minifigures.
Collectibility
Low to Moderate; primarily of interest to City theme completionists or MOC builders looking for civilian rescue personnel.
History
Released during the 2018 Mountain Police/Fire wave, which transitioned City sub-themes from urban settings to more rugged, natural environments.
Interesting Facts
The ponytail-cap piece was a relatively new mold at the time of release, significantly aiding in gender representation in various City roles.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for water-based rescue dioramas, mountain river scenes, or placed inside the larger transport helicopter from its parent set.
Modification Potential
Great for parts; the torso and legs are quintessential 'modern firefighter' uniforms, and the head/hair piece is highly versatile for civilian customs.
Overall Assessment
A solid, functional City minifigure. While not a high-value collector's item, it features high-quality prints and useful accessories for play and display.
