Firehouse 51 is adding some female bonding. Miranda Rae Mayo (Blood & Oil) has joined the cast of Dick Wolf ‘s hit NBC drama series in a major recurring role that could potentially become a regular. Mayo will play Stella Kidd, a fun, bawdy, tough, physical and brazen firefighter joining Firehouse 51 who is funny, sharp as a tack and fearless. With her on board, Dawson (Monica Raymund) will no longer the only female firefighter on truck. While this is rare, I hear the producers drew inspiration from real-life firehouses that have featured two female firefighters.
