Columbus Fire and EMS names first ever female deputy chief By Cindy Centofanti | January 27, 2021 at 9:11 PM EST - Updated January 27 at 10:02 PM
COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) - In a year where the nation is seeing itâs first-ever woman vice president, Columbus is also making history with Marie Harrellâs promotion Wednesday to deputy fire chief.
âIt is 180 years plus in history for this department, for it to take until 2021 to name a female deputy chief is amazing in itself,â Harrell said.
Harrellâs new title makes history for the Columbus Fire and Emergency Medical Services department not only because she is the first woman in Columbus to ever hold the title, but also because this signifies the cityâs dedication to include minorities in leadership positions.
