Fire Girl: The Story of one of the First Female CDF Fire Fighters

NOTE FROM AUTHOR: Thank you so much for considering my book Fire Girl. I want to let you know that 100% of all of my royalties go to the Wildland Fire Fighter Foundation - This cause financially helps the families of wildland firefighters who die in the line of duty. I was one of the first few female firefighters to work for the California Department of Forestry. The year was 1978 and there were only 26 of us girls working for CDF in the entire state that year. We were still treading on new territory. A female had never stepped foot to work at my assigned Northern California CDF station in its 50 year history It was definitely a man's world and some weren't happy when an 18 year old girl that stood 5'2" and weighed 95 pounds showed up for duty.From the mundane everyday station work to battling raging forest fires with near death experiences, I tell you my story how I remember it those many years ago with humor and honesty Yeah, I have a "couple good stories" in there If you are a firefighter past, present or future, thank you for your invaluable service If you are a family member of a firefighter, thank you for your support To see better quality and higher resolution full color photos that appear in the book, go to www.wildlandfirewomen.com There are bonus photos both past and present as well as video
