The Board of Public Works and Safety approved hiring Tiffany Zavitsky, West Lafayette Fire Department's first female firefighter, during its meeting Tuesday. 'Currently, she'll be the only woman serving the department,' Chief Jeff Need said. There is another woman on administrative staff, but Zavitsky will be the first of what Need hopes will be many female firefighters. Zavitsky and other new hire Tyler Droesch will be sworn in as entry level firefighters on Aug. 29 after the regular board of works meeting.
