Cape Town is marking the end of an era as Arlene Wehr, one of the first women to step into the City's firefighter uniform, transitions into retirement after nearly three decades of trailblazing service.
Her story stretches far beyond career milestones. It is a record of firsts, long nights on duty, and a legacy built quietly and consistently in a male-dominated space.
City officials have confirmed her departure, noting that her contributions remain woven into the history of the Fire and Rescue Service.
