Of the thousands of firefighters who battle California’s blazes every year, roughly 30 percent of the on-the-ground wildland crews are inmates earning a dollar an hour. Approximately 200 of those firefighters are women serving on all-female crews.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eBreathing Fire\u003c\/i\u003e, Jaime Lowe expands on her revelatory work for\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e.
