A ceremony today will celebrate the first woman to be appointed to the command staff of the Denver Fire Department.
Angela R. Cook will be sworn in as the division chief at Denver International Airport at 9 a.m. at the Denver City and County Building, becoming the highest-ranking female firefighter in the department’s history.
Other new members of Fire Chief Jim Sestrich’s command staff will be Gregory J. Champlin, deputy fire chief; Steve Maddox, division chief of operations; and David M. Quintana, division chief of safety and training.
Cook became a Denver firefighter in 1992.
