VIDEO/PHOTOS: Casey Burch now holds the title of captain for the Hot Springs Fire Department, making her the first female promoted to that position in the department's history.
Burch is a 10-year veteran with Hot Springs Fire Department and has a passion for serving her city.
"I knew that I wanted to be in a position one day where I was helping people and constantly involved in the community and I found that the fire department gave me that outlet in all sorts of ways," Burch said.
The department has been around for over 125 years and since then only three women, Burch included, have served on the Hot Springs Fire Department.
Burch said there have been obstacles along the way, but she finds ways to overcome them.
