(STILLWATER, OKLAHOMA / AUGUST 25, 2016) – The City of Stillwater recognizes fire department intern Ashley Evans, who recently received a scholarship from the International Association of Fire Chiefs.

Evans is a senior studying fire protection and safety engineering technology at Oklahoma State University. She has interned with the Stillwater Fire Department since October 2014.
