  • Cindy Petrich, Donnell Fire Drop Point (DP) 22 Division, gives the day's game plan to firefighters early in the morning on Thursday, August 16, 2018, near Dardanelle, California. <br />
<br />
When driving from the Incident Command Post (ICP) to active wildfire areas, mother of four, Petrich, thinks, “Sometimes I feel like I’m in a movie. Is this real?”<br />
<br />
“I love this job,” she said during California’s Donnell Fire. “If I wasn’t happy, I wouldn’t be here.”  <br />
<br />
Petrich, 46, has been fighting fires since 1992. When away on fires, she focuses solely on the tasks at hand and pushes her family, including three sons, ages 19, 12 and 10, a daughter, 8, and a husband, to the back of her mind.<br />
