This South Jersey firehouse has an all-women crew!

DEPTFORD TOWNSHIP, N.J. -- For the first time ever, a South Jersey firehouse had an all-female crew on call, and just in time for Women's History Month.

Union Fire Company, which is part of Deptford Fire Department in Deptford Township, New Jersey, has always made an effort to recruit female members.When station leadership realized it had the staffing to put an all-female crew on call, it decided to do just that. The women say they hope to inspire more girls to become firefighters. That's the case for one of the volunteer firefighters, Megan Thelen.

WOW HOO, this is awesome getitgirls

This is dangerous foolish

As long as they have the psychical strength to do the job…let’s face it, carrying a limp 350lb person out of a burning building isn’t an easy task

Does action news have biologist on staff? Apparently some people can’t define what women is..

Congratulations ladies

I am rooting for 2023 calendar from this firehouse 😉

And the University of Penn Girls swim team can’t even say that
