In Aniak, Alaska, 350 miles west of Anchorage, Alaska, teenage girls make up the Dragon Slayers, an all-girl firefighting and emergency medical team. Members range in age from 13 to 18 years old. Pete Brown, a retired Vietnam medic, formed the team after his son had a medical emergency and no EMS team existed in the village to help. Brown says boys resist the strict rules, such as being on call 24/7, being available for ongoing training twice a week, and eschewing any tobacco, alcohol, or drugs; and therefore do not include boys in his team.
