Sophomore Janae Lewallen spent the offseason fighting fire
Jenae Lewallen's first call as a wildland firefighter was not as exciting as she thought it would be.
"I thought we'd get in the [truck] and it'd be this big rush," she said. "Me being me, I'm like, 'Let's go.'"
Jenae was dressed in her fluorescent yellow gear, topped with a hard hat. Her crew of two other firefighters arrived at the scene.
"When we got there it was just this big black dot in the middle of this big forest and there were little hot spots, nothing too crazy," she said.
