FIRE FIGHTERS

Members of the Dragon Slayers practice an emergency call.

They work for the Navy. Four others attend universities around the country studying medicine.

“This experience gave me the confidence to try my best,” says Kameroff. She was granted a full four-year academic scholarship to the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

Erica Kameroff cleans up after a training fire.

Marteney plans to stay in emergency medicine. Another team member is applying to the Coast Guard Academy. The four other Dragon Slayers all plan to pursue careers in medicine. When they do move on they will be replaced by a younger group. This new group has four girls and one boy. They are already in training and are known as the Lizard Killers. “Girls graduate from this program and feel like they’re ready to take on the world,” says Brown. “And they do.”

Four-wheelers allow the teams access to places cars and trucks cannot go.
