Brittany Jewett grew up at the Lake View Fire Department. Now, at age 29, she's become the first female fire chief at the Lake View Fire District and in all of Hamburg.
"It's just showing to other girls out there it's possible. It can be done. We can do it," said Brittany, "I do have a lot of weight on my shoulders now, but my main goal when I joined the fire department was to follow in my father's footsteps and I succeeded and here I am."
Brittany's dad is a former fire chief and is the current president of the Lake View Fire Association. Her mom is the treasurer. "It was in her blood. We had no doubt she'd be a member," said Jill Jewett, Brittany's mom.
"You go from being daddy's little honey bunny to now I go out on calls and she's like you have to listen to me," Gene Jewett, Brittany's dad, said, "She was always there following me. No matter where I went, she was."
