VIDEO: The majority of fire departments across the nation and Central Wisconsin have very few women on the force. It's a tough job, but the women who are employed or volunteer for area departments believe anyone, no matter their gender, can do it. Wausau Fire Chief Tracey Kujawa worked her way up from the bottom. “I started being a first responder with the Village of Plover,” she said. Kujawa was later hired as a full-time firefighter in Stevens Point and eventually was named chief. “I advanced through the department and I was the chief there for two and a half years.” she said. “During my whole career in Stevens Point I was the only female.” In Wausau, there's only one other female firefighter besides Kujawa. Caroline Kraeger is the only female on the lines.
