“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 />
<br />
She’s all in when home, making up for lost time by joining her children on as many field trips as possible.<br />
<br />
All told, she is away from her family for a couple months out of the year.<br />

  • After bearing witness to devastation year after year, in populated communities and in forests, I’ve begun searching for Beauty in Fire. This un-manipulated photograph is part of my "Heat Cannot Be Separated From Fire" series, and I hope to translate some of the Profound Beauty that I experience in Fire.<br />
<br />
I continue to document many aspects of fire, and the changing climate, from my home in California's wildfire country near Yosemite National Park. When I arrived in rural California nearly 20 years ago, the wildfire season typically lasted from August through October. Living with fire is now a year-round fact of life.

  • Kali Disparte looks through the carnage of the Donnell Fire at the Clark Fork campground in California’s Stanislaus National Forest on Thursday, August 16, 2018. <br />
<br />
The 24-year old transgender seasonal firefighter with BLM/Inyo National Forest wants to make a career out of fighting blazes, something that wasn’t originally in his plans.<br />
<br />
Born in Okinawa, Japan, into a military family, Disparte is the youngest of eight children and lives in Palmdale during his off-season. This 24-year-old transgender wildland firefighter didn’t consider a career in fire until he attended Antelope Valley College where he completed Los Angeles County’s structure fire academy.<br />
<br />
“I do want firefighting to be a long-term career, whether it’s in wildland like I am right now or structure,” Disparte said. <br />
<br />
His career goal is to keep moving up and learning about every aspect of fire that he can. He looks up to, and admires people, who are willing to teach and give back to the fire community and help those that are trying to get into the fire world.<br />
<br />
Disparte transitioned between his first and second year as a firefighter, and said, “As I got older, I got stronger. The more I came out, the more I got stronger and the more people supported me, like two of my sisters,” Disparte said. “And now my fire family.”<br />

Winkler joined the U.S. Forest Service at the age of 18, working seasonally for 10 years before becoming a full time firefighter. She’s been full time for 28 years.<br />
<br />
Married for 17 years, Winkler and her dirt-bike instructor/musician husband have no children.<br />
“I would have had to quit my job back then if I wanted kids,” she said. “I’m fine with it, I made a conscious choice.”<br />

  • United States Forest Service (USFS) public information officer (PIO) Diane Rendano-Cross, stops at drop point 22 to discuss current Donnell Fire conditions near Dardanelle, California, in the early morning of Friday, August 10, 2018.<br />
<br />
When Rendano-Cross, originally from New Jersey, was single in the 1980s, she worked on fires as an engine crew member. She took an approximate 20-year hiatus from fire work, returning again to the ‘front lines’ in 2016.<br />
<br />
Rendano-Cross was half of a dual U.S. Forest Service (USFS) firefighting career family. She co-parented two young daughters, Leilani and Chelsea, with a husband whose priority was to be on a Type 2 Team. Diane’s number one priority was to be available for her girls, so she remained at home, pulling her availability for firefighting. <br />
<br />
She remained on staff and worked on forest level projects near their home, and as the girls grew older, she again joined local area fires in logistical and resource advisory work.<br />
