Fembots take first place

AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (AP) - November 24, 2011

But you can call them champs.

First place honors in a national firefighters relay competition go to female firefighters from Colorado.

The relay involves tasks like racing up flights of stairs in full gear and rescuing a life-sized, dummy "victim."

The Fire Fembots took part in the World Firefighter Combat Challenge in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Those Fembots are members of the Air Force Academy and Colorado Springs fire departments.
