It was a historic day for women serving in Nashville fire departments today. Shirley Gooch who was with the fire department for 34 years was honored Saturday at a surprise party celebrating her retirement. Gooch was in the first class of female firefighters for the department in 1978. She says she is proud of the path she paved for other women.
"I'm so happy for all the females, because we've got females now that are chiefs, and they've really excelled, females have. I'm really, really proud of them. I really am," said Shirley Gooch
Gooch worked as a firefighter for seven years before transferring to the fire inspector's office in 1985.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Queen Elizabeth's youngest son, Prince Edward, is visiting Tennessee to promote one of the British royal family's charities, the Duke of Edinburgh's awards.
The prince presided over an awards ceremony at the governor's mansion in Nashville on Thursday for the first batch of young Tennesseans to participate in the leadership and character program.
About 80 youths received the award by participating in community service, skills development, physical fitness and adventurous journeys through the Boy Scouts, Boys and Girls Clubs, LEAD Academy, Montgomery Bell Academy or the Miss Tennessee Scholarship Organization.
Following the event, Gov. Bill Haslam and first lady Crissy Haslam invited the awardees and their families to tea inside the governor's residence. Later on Thursday, the prince was scheduled to headline a black-tie gala at Montgomery Bell Academy in Nashville.
