She was recognized as the first female fire warden in the world, serving as the Southern Rhode Island Forest Fire Warden. She also pioneered the Cedar Hill Volunteer Fire Department Experiment Station, buying and rigging out her own truck, complete with generator and two motorized pumps. The diamond-shaped pin has a green enameled tree at center with the word FIRE emblazoned across it in red.
