Tell Me Something Good: All-Female Firefighter Crew Make History

This is such an inspiring story for women and girls everywhere.

Down in Palm Beach Gardens in South Florida a group of women became the first all-female fire crew in the history of the department’s 57 years.

They all range in age from 29-53 and have spent a combined 80 years saving people and serving their community as EMT’s and firefighters. Up until a few weeks ago they had never all worked a shift together at the same time. Then on September 18th they just happened to all get scheduled to work at the same station and history was made.
