VIDEO: In a field traditionally seen as one for men, a crew of female firefighters is hosing down the stereotypes.
The West Carter County Fire Department has the first all-female duty in the region.
The four women that make up the shift are Ashley Perdue and her mother Carol Jones, Amber Hubbard and Krysten Kelch.
As a volunteer fire department, all the women work other full-time jobs outside of their commitment to the station.
These women are on the front lines of fighting fire in Carter County, proving that the job is not just for men.
"You just have to know what you can do and what you can't do and as long as you know that? The sky is the limit," says Perdue.
The four women stay overnight at the station when they are on-call for what they fondly call "girl's night."
"It's a different bond. And we've really enjoyed that," says Jones.
