WARNER ROBINS, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) Kadie Peterman began her career as a Warner Robins firefighter in January of 2019. The department recently named her ‘Rookie of the Year,’ making her the first woman to claim the title in department history. Peterman says it’s an honor.
“It just makes me feel very proud, and I hope I’m not going to be the last one,” says Peterman. “I hope I’m just the beginning of it. I hope it inspires some other people to come and join this type of job.”
Assistant Chief Scottie Durham says he was skeptical if Kadie could handle the job at first. Once she went through training, he says he was shocked at her abilities. Now that she’s been working on shift one, he says he is impressed and proud of all the work she’s put in so far. Durham says if he could have voted for ‘Rookie of the Year,’ he would have voted for her.
