Janette's Story
Life
I left Madison at 21 yrs. and moved out West. My career has been with the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Currently, I head up the safety and health in Idaho.
Wildland Fires (forest fires) and structure fires have played a major role in my life. I have and still run wildfire medical units responsible for medivac operations and medical care for fire fighters. Gets a little dusty and dirty, but the scenery is worth it! Also, I currently volunteer with a local ambulance unit on a nasty highway where loggers meet yuppys head on.
My son, Eric, is a BLM Smokejump...Expand for more
er (parachutes into wildland fires) and his wife is also a Smokejumper! My daughter, Darbi,lives in Boise, ID with her three children.
I live in the mountains outside of Boise, Idaho with my horses(Tesoro, Beauty & Thorny), two dogs, and three cats. This place use to be a winter camping ground for several tribes and it abounds with all kinds of animals such as, coyotes, deer, a token bear, bob cats, mountain lions, etc. I had 4 wolves show up in back of the barn last winter. Amazing creatures. Bottom line....it's never a dull moment here. J
