LODD: Fresno City Fire Engineer Sandi Johanns

In 1998, Sister Johanns made history when she became the first woman to join the Sanger Fire Department, a distinction she would also earn a couple years later when she became the first woman in the North Central Fire Protection District.
Sandi joined the Fresno City Fire Department in 2002 and was promoted to engineer in 2005. She served the majority of her career with Fresno City and retired in April of 2017 because of the job-related illness that eventually took her life.
