Today's Woman
And you thought you had a tough job?Our daughter Niki works for the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) fighting fires. She works long hours-108 in the last week, averages 4-6 hours of sleep a night and sleeps in trucks or on the ground, and lives on military rations. She is lucky to get a day off, sometimes just a few hours before she is called to another fire.
Just recently, her crew was one of the first to respond to one of the biggest fires in Idaho/Utah since 1910 where over 562,000 acres burned. She's a strong, adventurous young woman, not afraid to get dirty and loves fighting fires. Niki is pictured on the far left below in the rose red dress. She's such a beautiful young woman with a personality to match. She's also in her second year of college. We're so proud of you and all that you've accomplished and we love you so much Niki! You go girl~!

Beautiful young lady and gorgeous dress!!!
Am I the only one that is concerned there is a raging fire behind them and they've stopped to take a photo?
:)
she deserves a medal!
Wow..without these pictures you would never know what our young women and men go through to keep us safe.
What an inspiration she is.
LOL, I'm laughing at Cheri's comment. We know a lot of young people who work on the fires here in the west. Living in the mountains, it becomes another regular summer routine. I love the photos of your daughter. In one she's a kicka** fire stomping woman and in the next she's a beautiful princess. Women are so versatile.
Wow! That is very impressive indeed. Not too many could that job. Very inspiring.
What a beautiful firefighter! Does she want to meet my son...???
She's gorgeous...I admire her! My son used to work for CDF here in CA fighting wildfires and it is not an easy job.
My hats off to her...
