Milwaukee woman paves the way for others to climb the MFD ladder
Sharon Purifoy talks about her job as a Milwaukee firefighter and moving up in the ranks of the department.
MILWAUKEE - Sharon Purifoy can remember her scariest day as a Milwaukee firefighter.
It was her first day on the job in 2003. Nothing particular happened that day. But it was frightening for her to be starting a career in which life and death are separated by a very thin line. The most scared I’ve ever been on the job? It had to be just walking in here. It wasn’t a run, it wasn’t a fire. It was walking into something that I knew nothing about, Purifoy told FOX6 News from her office on a recent afternoon.
