The El Segundo Fire Department on Saturday hosted its first-ever “Girls Empowerment Camp,” giving the all-female attendees a look at life on the fire lines.
"Now that I have risen to this level, I want to bring other women up," Lee said."So, I have a responsibility to other women to show, to be a role model.""What we’re finding is, once we approach girls in college, they already have their career paths, so we need to let girls know that this is a career option."
Each girl at the camp, between age 12 and 19, gets a glimpse of what it takes to be a firefighter -- from pulling the fire hose to climbing an 80-foot ladder.For the girls, seeing other female firefighters is part of the excitement. "Oh it’s really empowering," said 12-year-old Jalycenn Northgate."And like seeing that other people, just like, have made it this far."
