Erin Leary made history when she was sworn in as the first female captain in the Revere Fire Department.
With family, fellow firefighters and city officials gathered for the ceremony, her father, Daniel Leary, pinned Badge No. 575 on her uniform. Mayor Patrick Keefe recognized her as a role model for others following in her footsteps.
The ceremony also celebrated the promotion of another captain and three lieutenants, along with four new firefighters joining the department.
Congratulations, Captain Leary—and everyone stepping into a new role serving Revere.
