I grew up in the fire dept. My dad, grandfather, two uncles, two aunts and a cousin are all fire fighters. I remember sitting at the fire house while my dad went to a call, watching them put on their gear and hop on a truck and speed down the street, it still makes me jealous. Hopefully I’ll start fire school in February.

Also, I’m tired of people telling me I can’t do it because I’m a girl. I want to prove to them that I can.
