Hey everybody! My name's Jennifer, but normally I'm called Jen, J, J-Lo.....maybe even Buttercup.... probably have a few other names that I haven't actually been called to my face! LOL!!! Anyway.... I've been in the fire department for almost 6 years now. I'm the first 3rd generation firefighter in my department and also the first female.... still the only female, but I don't mind. I'm actually most proud of the 3rd generation thing. And now, I can't think of anything else to say, so if you want to know anything else, just ask!!
