The next time there’s a tragic fire in New York City, it’s a good bet Kerry Kelly will be on the scene. Her Dad is a retired FDNY Lieutenant. Her grandfather was a firefighter. One of her three brothers also works for the department.
But Kelly is not one of the growing numbers of women joining the firefighters’ ranks. Though a trailblazer, her path to the FDNY included stops at ultra-prestigious Vassar College and Brown University.
Dr. Kelly is the Fire Department’s Chief Medical Officer. And on the morning of September 11, she went straight to the perilous scene, even before the Twin Towers had collapsed.
