02 Lihir I Lamel February 2008 The ‘Lihir Today’ is an official publication of all stakeholders involved in the Lihir Gold Project. Issue #2 – February, 2008 Thomasita makes history By Liz Serafeni Her name will go down in Lihir’s modern history. Miss Thomasita Zikbel is Lihir and New Ireland’s first ever female fire fighting and rescue officer. The young lass from Bulamue on Masahet Island was the only female among 10 male counterparts who recently graduated as certified officers with the Emergency Response Team. Thomasita’s perseverance to be on equal footing in her training in the male dominated field was the driving force that led to her subsequent achievement that puts her rightfully as the first female fire fighter in Papua New Guinea. The 22-year-old joined ERT along with two other female trainees, Grace Naki and Georgina Rapis, as trainees in 2006. Naki and Rapis left soon after to join LGL’s prevocational training, leaving Thomasita as the only female trainee. “Looking back, I am happy I did not quit because I have found that ERT is about life saving and I want to be a life saver so I can save someone’s life someday,” she said. Thomasita will never forget the day she was welcomed aboard the team. The fear of treading in a men’s world almost drowned her but she rose above it and took on the challenge. “The ninth of October 2006 is the day I will always remember because it was the first day I was welcomed on board the Emergency Response Team,” she said. She managed to overcome her Thomasita Zikbel, Lihir’s first female fire fighting and rescue officer. fears and was able to put up with all her training and exercises with was rescuing from heights over men. of this team, I encourage you to fire chief said ERT is a demanding the support and encouragement because I had to learn how to “My customary obligations take the challenge because it’s for challenge and it is pleasing to see from her team mates and leaders. climb with rescue ropes and were hard to ignore, but as far as a worthy cause and that is to save a young Lihirian woman succeed.
