Relentless: Ard is 2nd woman at LFD to graduate state fire academy | News

Anna Ard knows about being relentless. From her days playing softball at William Carey University to watching her mother battle ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease), Ard approaches life with this philosophy. And she has a tattoo on her left wrist as a reminder, stating simply “relentless.”

Ard’s relentless mentality helped her become the second woman firefighter to graduate the Mississippi Fire Academy in the history of the Laurel Fire Department.
