TUCSON, Ariz. — Fire Captain Kassandra Oberdank is proud to see her son, Brock Oberdank , follow in her footsteps, creating a mother-son legacy.
Brock, inspired by his mother’s dedication, pursued public service early on."I was always interested in public service. I was in the military for four years right out of high school as a combat medic. When I got out, I heard the fire department was hiring, so I applied, and here I am today," Brock said.
Kassandra, who has never felt any special challenges as a woman in the fire department, views herself as just another member of the team."I just consider myself one of the guys. I don’t feel like I’ve had any special challenges just because I’m a woman," she said.
