Fargo Hires First Female Firefighter
FARGO, N.D. - Fargo's fire chief says he's been trying to hire a woman firefighter for several years and he's pleased that it's finally happening.
Dawn Stollenwork has been working as a part-time jailer in Moorhead, Minn. She's joining the Fire Department on Aug. 24.
The 32-year-old Stollenwork (stahl'-en-work) is a mother of two from Reiles (RY'-lees) Acres, north of West Fargo. She was hired as a firefighter after applying three times. She said the physical agility test is difficult.

i think it's great to have woman firefighters on the department. it sure does help in the times you need a woman to help with sick or injury woman. i see that sometimes the say sex can understand each out then different sex's. hey to go Dawn it's your time to shine and show the fire chief he made a good move in hiring you.
