Years on job: 10

Rank: Lieutenant

Description: The first fire I ever fought was a tree in the middle of a field struck by lightning. While fighting the tree fire...I kept falling on my back and the fire hose would shoot straight up in the air while I was laying on the ground (while in full bunker gear).

This happened several times because of a downed fence and mesquite bushes that I kept tripping over. My husband and another firefighter was at the truck watching and laughing and said I looked like a turtle on its back. Thus I was given the name Turtle!!
