A utumn Kelso is the world’s shortest female firefighter — but her height is the least interesting thing about her.
Standing 4 feet 10 inches, Kelso can keep up with the rest of her crew and even surpass them in some aspects of the job, like the time she used her small stature to crawl through a doggy door.
The 32-year-old was born and raised in Florida . She works as a firefighter paramedic in St. Pete Beach after realizing the corporate world wasn’t for her.
“I went off to college, got into the corporate world. I did that for almost seven years, and I just decided I was done with it,” Kelso told The Independent , adding that she wanted something that “felt purposeful to me.”
Kelso initially brushed off the idea of joining the fire academy, given her height, but with the encouragement of her friends, she decided to strap on her boots.
