520 "A dramatic, revelatory account of the female inmate
firefighters who battle California's wildfires"--
|cProvided by publisher.
520 Of the thousands of firefighters who battle California's
blazes every year, roughly 30 percent of the on-the-ground
wildland crews are inmates earning a dollar an hour.
Approximately 200 of those firefighters are women serving
on all-female crews. Lowe has spent years getting to know
dozens of women who have participated in the fire camp
program. Speaking to captains, family and friends,
correctional officers, and camp commanders, she provides
an illuminating look at how the fire camps actually
operate. In doing so, she encompasses California's
underlying catastrophes of climate change, economic
disparity, historical injustice, and the emotional and
physical intensity of firefighting. -- adapted from jacket
