You may have heard the name Fire Chief Tiffany Green. Green made history when she was sworn in as the first female fire chief at the Prince George's County Fire Department.
Green started with Prince George's County Fire Department more than 20 years ago.
"I decided to become a career firefighter in March of 1999. That's where my career started," said Green. When Green first joined the department decades ago, she never imagined she would rise to the rank of Fire Chief.
"Honestly, I did not see anybody who looked like me in this position. When I first came into the job I really just wanted to serve and be a firefighter," said Green.
Green said she has seen the number of women within the industry grow significantly during her time with the department. Today, 16% of the career firefighters at the Prince George's County Fire Department are women, according to Green.
