[peterose313 345]

That is how Heather Burford describes her job as the Fire Chief of Ridgefield, CT.

Burford, one of only four female fire chiefs in Connecticut, came to speak at Western Connecticut State University (WestConn) as part of a lecture series held in observance of Women’s History month.

Chief Burford was a paid firefighter in Manchester CT before going to Ridgefield. Curious why she neglected to include that tidbit in the speech.

More than likely the reported never put that in, probabbly didn't think that part was important on her rise through the ranks.
