EDC firefighter accuses chief, male colleagues of sexism
By Sam Stanton, Sacramento Bee
LisaMarie Mason began her firefighting career with the El Dorado Hills Fire Department in June 2007, the only female in her class.
For the next decade, Mason claims, she endured a workplace where she was denied training that male firefighters were granted and was subjected to a barrage of sexist comments from her superiors.
“This country went wrong when it allowed women to vote,” then-Battalion Chief Dave Roberts allegedly told her, then nicknamed her “Homeplate” when he discovered she was single because “everyone scores.”
