“I have a brother who retired as a BFRS battalion chief [in May 2019]. … He always talked about how it was the best job in the world, and he couldn’t imagine doing anything else,” she recalled. “I got to a point in my life where I didn’t really know what I wanted to do, so I decided to give it a shot.”
