"In Her Boots" relates the history of women firefighters in Madison

The Madison Fire Department and the City of Madison IT Media Team collaborated on a feature-length documentary called In Her Boots.

The film became available for on-demand streaming on the Madison Fire Department YouTube channel and on the Madison City Channel website on March 1st to kick off Women’s History Month. It had a theatrical premiere at Madison College’s Mitby Theater as part of an International Women’s Day celebration on March 8th, when it also began playing on Madison City Channel on Spectrum, AT&T U-Verse, Roku, and Apple TV.
