Austin fire chief becomes association president
Austin Fire Chief Rhoda Mae Kerr has been elected as female president of the International Association of Fire Chiefs’ 142-year history.
Kerr’s position will involve being the voice for the nearly 11,000 members of the organization.
“Sometimes I say this is going to be my last first. My last glass ceiling and my last first. I say that and who knows what tomorrow may bring,” Kerr said.
Kerr was also Austin’s first female fire chief. She will take office later this summer.
