FREEPORT A little more than 11 years ago when Hillary Broshous was introduced to the Freeport Fire Department, she really wasn t looking for a job.
She just wanted to see what kind of shape she was in. I had no interest in being on the fire department, she said with a smile. I really just wanted to see if I could pass the agility test.
After all, in February 2010, when she took the test, she was 34, which is one year younger than the maximum age allowed for new hires. So she showed up that day with no expectations other than to prove she was physically fit. She left, however, with people impressed enough to offer her a job.
