Can you help me track down this statue?

I'm trying to track down a statue of a female wildland firefighter (1, 2). It is about 6" tall and has been in existence for at least a decade.
The statue might be pewter. The subject is a female wildland firefighter digging line with a pulaski.
The statue doesn't have any identifying marks on it anywhere. I've done a bunch of googling, but can't find it (though have found somewhat similar pieces). Ideally, I'd like to find out where I can purchase it, but almost as good would be figuring out the name and/or artist.
Thanks!

This is the Pulaski Award.
"The Pulaski Award itself, a 30-inch bronze statue created by Larry Noland, is a model of one of three 8-foot statues of firefighters placed at the Wildland Firefighters Monument in Boise."
Lawrence Nolan has a gallery. Is this what you're searching for? (A shovel, not a pulaski, but worth a look.)

FWIW: "Wildland Firefighter Foundation Humanitarian Award, a 12" bronze statue of a female wildland firefighter." No picture, but perhaps it's worth an email to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation?
