In this issue we provide an opportunity for two firefighters to share their experiences with things we don’t talk much about: gender and leadership as well as bias and diversity. In the cover story, Rachel Reimer, an Initial Attack Crew Leader in British Columbia, Canada, ties together gender, leadership and vulnerability. Sara Brown draws upon her diverse fire experience as a hotshot, helitack crewmember, smokejumper and fire ecologist to discuss bias, diversity and gender in our “One of Our Own” feature.
