It's that time.

Lock and load.

The Michael Derry Show is on the air.

This girl is on fire.

The chief also checks another box when it comes to inclusivity and diversity at this department.

She's a proud member of the LGBTQ community.

That just kind of opens the door of people that thought,

wow, I didn't even know that that was an opportunity for me.

This girl is on fire.

Ain't nobody got time for that.

I'm super inspired.

She took time out of her already busy schedule to tell us about her vision for the department's future,

one that includes a three-year strategic plan to increase diversity.

People ask me, well, what number are you looking for? So I'm not looking for a number. It's never

enough. Out of 3,300 city firefighters, only 115 are women right now. She's already looking at ways

to change that. She's quick to point out that doing so has a greater purpose, attracting the best

and brightest for the job. They feel included, they feel valued, and they feel part of a cohesive

team. You might have recall a new story from last year. There was some interest in the fire

departments and the firefighters in California. And the interest was, there were too many white

men who were firefighters, and we need to have a program in California to make sure we don, was that there were too many white men who were firefighters.

And we need to have a program in California to make sure we don't have enough white men as firefighters.

I'm on a highway to hell I'm a high way to hell
