Assistant Fire Chief Berry’s L.A.D.D.E.R to Success
The first African American female to be appointed to the position of Assistant Fire Chief, Tameji Berry, gives back to the Dallas community through her program, Camp L.A.D.D.E.R. Since 2015, Camp L.A.D.D.E.R, or Ladies Achieving Dreams with Dedication, Enthusiasm, and Respect, empowers young women of the Dallas Independent School District (DISD). Each year during the second weekend of November, the girls are introduced to fire prevention education training, fire investigation, and motivational speakers, all while building leadership skills.
