Kelly Coughlin - The Lightning Chair

August 24, 2024 • 12 mins

Kelly tells how working as a woman in a wildfire lookout tower changed her. She told her story at the Raven Narratives events in early June 2024 when the theme was “weather”. Kelly joined a wild land fire crew 24 years ago in Oregon, and has been chasing adrenaline for a living, ever since. Her essay about becoming a wild land firefighter, “Anchor Point,” was featured at the April 2023 GetLit! Festival in Spokane, Washington and was published shortly afterward in the Rumpus. She currently works in wild land fire management at Mesa Verde National Park. Join us for the next Raven Narratives live storytelling events when the theme will be “friendship” on Friday, October 4th, at the Sunflower Theatre in Cortez, and on Saturday, October 5th, at the Durango Arts Center. Follow us on Instagram and on Facebook for the latest information on ticket sales and more.
