History was made in the City of Revere Monday when Erin Leary took her oath as the first female captain in the Revere Fire Department.
Erin’s father, Daniel Leary, had the honor of pinning Badge No. 575 on his daughter’s uniform.
Mayor Patrick Keefe congratulated Leary in his remarks at the promotion ceremony in the Council Chambers. “Captain Leary, you’re a role model to many whom you may not even realize look up to you,” said Keefe. “I am proud to serve as your mayor.”
