When did you start at KXAN?

What was your most memorable story?
Fires have been some of the most memorable stories I’ve worked on. As an intern here at KXAN, I covered a West Campus fire that was enormous. Everyone was safe, thank God. Another was the Bastrop fire in late February 2009. It destroyed many peoples’ lives and definitely impacted me. Some peoples’ livelihoods were destroyed, and they were left with practically nothing.
