Lacey England - Challenging Stereotypes and Protecting the Outdoors as a Wildland Firefighter

Summary: REI recently made a video called “Women in Fire” that features Lacey England and some other badass female firefighters and launches April 30th. Lacey was also profiled in the National Forest Foundation series, “Drawn to Flame: Women Forged by Fire.” Lacey shares her story, plus the unglamorous life of her job (it involves Spam and carrying insanely heavy packs), what her day-to-day training entails, and what it’s like to be in a field that is dominated by people that don’t look like her.
