Green Valley resident Linda Strader was one of the first women to be hired as a female firefighter by the US Forest Service. She began at the age of 20 in the mid-1970s when women were a rare sight in the field. She describes the job as exhilarating and exhausting, but also very challenging, due to stereotypes and assumptions about women in that field.
