From one of California's most notorious juvenile detention centers, a 16-year-old girl named KD joins fire camp. There she fights wildfires side-by-side with free firefighters, dropping in from helicopters, sawing down trees, and securing ridgelines. When she's released and tries to become a professional firefighter on the outside, she faces a different reality.

Special Guest Earlonne Woods, from the podcast Ear Hustle, joins us in the studio to talk about KD’s story, and life after incarceration.
