Sheriff’s Report
EASTERN OREGON
OUTDOORS
b* Mark K itrii
To watch a crew o f tired, dirty fire
fighters return to camp after a long day
on the fire line can he rather humbling
.
especially if you've spent
«Mire day O p p O r t U N l t } ' l A H T S
in the sanctity of a centered camp,
observing the comings and go ings
there and only imagining what it must
be like beneath that huge, billowing
cloud of black and orange smoke
mushrooming like a nuclear explosion
from the far ridge
Exhausted as they are. the grimy
crew proudly assembles as a unit and
silently trudges single file through camp
to stow their gear and be dismissed, their solemn, blackened young faces
staring straight ahead as they walk
But later, from the portable showers, emerge different creatures Young
guys with freckles, older guys with tattoos and from other showers,
womcn--quite a lot of them in fact, from 18 to 30 years old and wearing
anything from hoots and blue jeans to shorts and flip flops as they step
smartly over to the chow line The faces that a moment ago were un
distinguishable from the mens' now look just like the ones that smile
back at you from behind the cash register at the grocery store
Why are so many young women fighting forest fires these days ' Ac
cording to several of the women who fought the 10,(1)0 acre-plus Glac icr
Complex bla/e on the Malheur National Forest, it's mostly for the money
although many say they enjoy the excitement as well
“ It's the challenge.’’ says Tina Racy of Oakndgc "Y ou’ve got to
stay with it--it's heads up all the time "
To Marjcan Lowas of the Makcn/ie River river crew, fire fighting
is an opportunity to cam more money for college during the relatively
short penod o f summer
“ It's a great way to save money for school and to do something your
girlfriends aren't doing. Gosh, my friends won't believe it when I get
home and tell them about (fighting fire).”
“ Really." agrees companion Tracy Joy. also of the Mackenzie crew
"People honestly don’t think you're telling the truth You know, your
friends are working in department stores or pizza parlors for the sum
mcr. but you can say. 'Yeah. I fought fire''
Meanwhile. Lisa Cook from Rogue River No 5 fire crew says she
chose the work for the dollars. “ The only reason I do this is tor the
money--that's the only reason," Lisa explained “ It’s not like I'm into
womens' lib or anything. I just want to go to a special private school
this fall, but it's going to be really expensive "
As far as a conflict or competition between the men and women on
the line, both sexes agree that it is not a problem. "Y ou have to carry
your own weight," says Tracy, “ and if you don't, they'll let you know
that you’re not ”
“ I think sometimes it's more of a challenge for the women, I racy
continued, "just because people don't expect you (women) to be able
to do what you’re doing One o f the first things you hear is that you
can’t do it My husband said that to me my first year He said. ‘You
know, you'll try. but I don't think you're going to make it
. then at
the end of the season, we were on a fire together and I was walking
his rear off. I was more than pulling iny weight
Common to all the girls was an expressed sense of achievement after
having faced something as large and phenomenal as a wildfire
“ What’s neat is to see what you've accomplished." Marjcan said, “ that
you’re really getting something done Maybe you saved a hunch of old
growth timber that can now stay here a little longer
