All-Female Firefighting Crew Is A First For Glynn County
Primary Content
A Georgia county has its first all-female firefighting crew.
The Brunswick News reports that three female Glynn County Fire Rescue firefighters have served together in the same engine company for the past several weeks.
Capt. Elizabeth Hawkins, Syndal Tillotson and Brianna Depp share the same 24-hour shift and staff Engine 2 in the coastal county. Hawkins says she encounters people who wonder whether she actually fights fires.
She and her colleagues are trying to change that type of thinking. To that end, she and Hawkins are involved in the fire department's youth explorers program.
