Women in Wildland Fire Fighting
Do most feel any sort of way towards women in this field? Do they add anything to a crew, does everyone just collectively dislike them or think they set back? Is there gender discrimination how would/do most respond to getting a woman on crew?
Edit: I’m a woman in her mid/late twenties who likes being outside and enjoys physically demanding jobs. I’m just wondering if this is a welcoming environment. wff is one of the “manliest” jobs I’ve ever heard of and don’t hear a lot women talking about what it’s like. I guess I’m asking for women to comment more than men would be helpful.
