Along with our Nevada rollout, we’re proud to tell the story of female firefighter Jacqueline Belluomini.
Jacqueline is a fearless leader from Station 10 in Las Vegas, Nevada. She’s served 17 years as a firefighter and 2 years as a captain. Not only is she a record holder amongst her peers but she’s also saved a team member by wrestling a 13-foot python during a fire.
According to her team, her positive outlook turns even the wildest situations into an adventure. Her most memorable rescue involved wrestling the python during a house fire call. Even with her known fear of snakes, she bravely jumped in to save her captain from the snake’s attack in the midst of the house fire. With improvisation, they were able to shove the python into a 50-gallon trash can and remove it from the scene.

Jacqueline also takes part in the annual Firefighter Challenge and has beat her own record in the women’s 40 to 49 category. After taking a six-year break from racing, she came back and broke her own record.
What a hero! Cheers to you, Jacqueline.
