MARY’S NEW JOB

Mary Kelly Corglancy Dromahair was one of two female recruits who recently passed out at the Dublin Fire Brigade graduation ceremony.

Thirty- year old Mary, who had previously had worked in London with the city’s emergency ambulance crew, said ‘ I applied for this, not thinking in a million years that I would get it, but here I am.’

Mary has had an enjoyable experience during her training with Dublin Fire Brigade and with the 48 other male trainees on the course. On it she remarked ‘ the lads are brilliant. They don’t treat you differently. They include you in every way.’
