Congratulations Chief Kerr!Fire Chief Rhoda Mae Kerr
Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue
Hall of Legends, Legacies and Leaders: Class 2021, Inductee #89
"I remember meeting Rhoda Mae in Austin at the Fire Rescue International conference. I was an Assistant Chief aspiring to become a Fire Chief one day. It was such an honor to not only see Rhoda Mae as a Chief of a very large department, but also the President of the IAFC. She was blazing the trail for women across the globe. Rhoda Mae was seemly a very busy lady with all those responsibilities, but took the time to chat with me about how it was at the top and what aspired her to climb the ladder. Additionally, I loved her 1920's inspired class A uniform and had to know where she was able to find such a beautifully designed dress uniform. It wasn't long after that when I applied for the IAFC Fire Executive Development Institute Program (FESDI) and hoped to be chosen as one of the next students. I was able to achieve that goal, and become a Fire Chief. I credit her for being one of the people who inspired me to reach for my dreams to become a Fire Chief. Rhoda Mae is an inspiration to all women who hope to lead a department and possibly the IAFC one day. I am so excited to see her be placed into the hall of legends, legacies and leaders. Congratulations Rhoda Mae Kerr, it is an honor to know you and thank you for all you have done for women across the globe." - Fire Chief Joanne R. Rund, Baltimore County Fire Department (MD)
