SUMMARY:A Memoir of Fighting Fire with Clare Frank
DESCRIPTION:Clare Frank fought fires for nearly 30 years and served as the 
 State of California’s first and only female Chief of Fire Protection. Her 
 new book Burnt: A Memoir of Fighting Fire is an inspiring\, richly 
 detailed\, and open-hearted account of an extraordinary life in fire. It 
 chronicles the transformation of a young adult determined to prove her 
 mettle into a scarred and sensitive veteran\, grappling with the weight of 
 her duties as chief of fire protection—one of the highest-ranking women 
 in Cal Fire history—while record-setting fires engulf her home state. 
 Mentors and managing\, funerals and scandal\, pickup basketball\, car 
 crashes\, and always fire—no one has written about this world\, from this 
 perspective\, like Clare Frank. She masterfully mixes irreverence and awe\, 
 taking readers inside station houses\, on daily calls\, and along on 
 wildfire campaigns where antics and dark humor balance terrifying risk\, 
 trauma\, and a sense of almost holy responsibility. Frank appears in 
 conversation with Elaine Wilkinson\, Marin County's Emergency Preparedness 
 Coordinator.\n\nOver the course of her career\, Frank earned a spot on an 
 elite state command team\, a bachelor's in fire administration\, a law 
 degree and bar card\, a master's in creative writing\, and several 
 leadership awards. Now\, she brings her story to the Mill Valley Public 
 Library. Join us for a conversation with Clare Frank about her new book\, 
 firefighting\, and everything in between.\n\n \n\nOur bookseller for this 
 program is Book Passage Corte Madera.
