Spider monkey: world's lowest firefighter sets world record

A resident of the US state of Florida set a world record as the lowest woman working as a firefighter. According to UPI, her achievement is officially recorded in the Guinness Book of Records.

The height of the employee of the fire protection is 147 centimeters. She has served in St. Pitt Beach for five years. The idea to apply arose spontaneously: one of the colleagues decided to check the existing regulations and found out that his partner could claim the title. After official measurements, the record was confirmed.

She claims that the miniature dimensions do not interfere with the performance of complex physical tasks, including entering burning buildings and carrying heavy equipment. In some situations, small growth becomes an advantage, allowing you to penetrate through narrow windows or climb into cramped spaces in attics.

"Guys call me a spider monkey because I'll get anywhere if I have to," she told reporters.
