I'd have liked to have known how her career went: did she rise up the ranks? Did her colleagues accept her. Did she stay in the service?

Why not use your keyboard to find out - the way I did? I think it's called googling, or researching, or doing a web search. It works! Best wishes from Vermont 🍁
Should've played 'Walk Like a Man" at the end.
So this woman was… fire ? 🔥
I think it's great they added a cook to the team, and she'll be good for moral, keeping the fire station looking nice and tidy. 😎👍
