Wildfire Days: A Woman’s Journey into the World of Elite Wildland Firefighting

Standing on the front lines of one of the most dangerous realities of our climate crisis era takes courage, strength, and resilience. Kelly Ramsey, the first woman in about a decade to join the Rowdy River Hotshots, a California-based crew of highly trained wildland firefighters, shares her intense world in a powerful new memoir titled “Wildfire Days: A Woman, a Hotshot Crew, and the Burning American West.”

In this episode of Earth911’s “Sustainability In Your Ear,” Kelly provides insights into her transformative two years fighting fires and discovering herself in the process. Her journey into the masculine world of hotshot crews offers a unique perspective on the intense training, physicality, and personal transformation required to become one of these ultimate first responders.

As we enter 2025, the conversation becomes more urgent as budget cuts reduce the number of available firefighters while wildfires become more severe. Despite a growing need, 1,600 firefighters have been laid off this year, leaving the nation at risk of operating at Preparedness Level 5, with no crews available when fire danger peaks. Kelly highlights the psychological and physical toll of this extreme profession and the sobering reality of firefighter mortality. She also offers practical advice for those living in wildfire-prone areas on home hardening and evacuation preparedness.

Kelly’s story of transformation, resilience, and the urgent need to support our wildfire fighting forces is both inspiring and eye-opening. To learn more about Kelly and “Wildfire Days,” visit her website at kellylynnramsey.com.

In a time where wildfires are becoming more prevalent and devastating, Kelly’s experiences shed light on the importance of preparing and supporting our firefighters. Her memoir serves as a reminder of the bravery and sacrifice required to combat these natural disasters and the need for continued support and resources for those on the front lines.
