Christiana Rainbow Plews has been making national headlines of late. She’s the Upper McKenzie District Fire Chief who lost her home and fire station in the Holiday Farm fire. Plews is one of fewer than 50 women in the nation to hold the title of fire chief. She’s been credited for saving lives when ordering “Get Out Now” evacuations for most of the McKenzie River Valley, when the fire blew up on Labor Day. “World, meet Rainbow.” That introduction begins one of thousands of social media posts, piling on accolades for the rural fire chief on the McKenzie River. Chief Rainbow has been in the firefighting business for 30 years. She’s had to navigate her career with very few woman mentors. It was around 8:30 pm Labor Day when Chief Rainbow got a call on a small grass fire at the Holiday Farm RV park near Blue River. She put on her boots and wildland gear and hit the door. The first thing she noticed was the whipping wind.
