Frank, California's chief of fire protection, looks back at her pioneering path in a male-dominated field, beginning when she was seventeen. Her book chronicles the transformation of a young adult determined to prove her mettle into a scarred and sensitive veteran, grappling with the weight of her duties as chief of fire protection while record-setting fires engulf her home state. Mentors and managing, funerals and scandal, pickup basketball, car crashes, and always fire-- Frank mixes irreverence and awe, taking readers inside station houses, on daily calls, and along on wildfire campaigns where antics and dark humor balance terrifying risk, trauma, and a sense of almost holy responsibility. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 363.37092 Frank Fr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.37092 Frank Fr Checked out 06/25/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.37092 Frank Fr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.37092 Frank Fr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
