LEAGUE CITY, Texas – The League City Volunteer Fire Department’s latest crew are full of “girl power.”Five female firefighters will represent three of League City’s volunteer fire stations, becoming the first all-female crew in the city’s 81-year history. The City of League City shared a video on YouTube of their local heroes at work on Dec. 22. “You hear the term ‘firemen’, it has always been a male-dominated industry,” Johanna Kirkpatrick, one of the volunteer firefighters, said in the video. Only 11 ladies out of the total 162 League City residents have signed up to volunteer. “Over the last couple of years, the city’s female firefighters have worked hard to not only earn their place on the team, but to grow their skills and advance within the department,” the City of League City added.

The City of League City shared a video on Twitter showing two fire ant colonies floating in Beta flood waters at Countryside Park. In the post, the city warns people that those piles are one of the many reasons walking through flood water can be dangerous. FLOATING ANT PILESThis is one of the reasons why you should avoid walking through flood water. Floating ant piles-like this one found at Countryside Park-can form and be very dangerous. Have you ever encountered one of these ant colonies on the move?
