#37 Guest Author Linda Strader

Do you watch the weekly drama series "Fire Country?" Jim and I were engaged reading LINDA STRADER'S first-hand account of her summers on the front lines fighting wildfires. We chatted with her about the daily life of a real wildfire crew member. Linda is one of the first women hired on a fire crew with the U.S. Forest Service. A naive 21-year-old in the mid 1970s, she discovers fighting wildfires is challenging- but in a man's world, they become only one of the challenges she would face. Join us!



Hosts: Jim and Bobbi Jean Bell
