The swearing in of the first female fire chief here in the FTL -- which happened a few days ago.
Lookit -- there may be a day in the future where the fact that she is the first *she* won't be something worth discussing, but that's not quite the world we live in ... yet. By the way, it turns out Rhoda Mae Kerr is used to breaking glass ceilings this way (as she did so previously in Little Rock, AR and Austin, TX), and now she's back in the city where she started her life of fighting fires to take complete charge.
And here's to breaking records that should have been broken years ago. Welcome (back) to the FTL, Chief Kerr!
