VIDEO: Forty years ago, Forest Service fire crews were almost all men. That was, until one woman who now lives in Green Valley, became one of the first women to join. Linda Strader didn't plan to be a pioneer. She just wanted to be a firefighter. "Didn't give it a second thought whether or not I could do it, I just figured I could," Strader said. It was the mid-1970's, a woman on a fire crew was almost unheard of. Strader was the only woman on her Forest Service crew and one of the first to ever join the Forest Service. She says men on the crew told her she couldn't do the job and she didn't belong there.
