Description
Shavawn Johnson is not only a talented singer, mother of three, and a wife; she’s been a firefighter for 15 years and a fire captain at Cal Fire for the last three years.
Johnson first became a firefighter at 18 years old.
"I'm always ambitious. I always want to challenge myself," she says.
She knew firefighting was in her blood when firefighters would come to her house a lot as a child when her grandfather suffered numerous falls from his battle with cancer.
"I realized I could do all the stuff guys could do. I get to work out. I get the adrenaline and that's what inspired me to do it," said Johnson.
