In the US, only 7% of firefighters are women, but the President of the Dutchess County Volunteer Firefighters Association is even rarer: a Latina named Ingrid Sanchez-Eger. Originally from Costa Rica, Ingrid lives to help her American community. While working two jobs as a single mom to support her kids, Ingrid finds time to DJ, translate at the local schools, and especially to work as a volunteer firefighter in Poughkeepsie, NY, where she is a chief responder. They call her “La Fantasma,” the ghost, because it doesn’t seem possible one person could be in so many places!
