Chainsaws and evening gowns: They might seem an unlikely match for most people, but not for local wildland firefighter Cheyenne Warner. Warner, the current Ms. Arizona, made a splash online recently when she posted a photo of herself in the forest, decked out in an evening gown and crown, holding a chainsaw. All of a sudden, the contestant for Ms. America was getting media calls from around the state. “It was the day I blew up Facebook,” Warner said laughing. The photo encapsulates many of her causes and interests — the outdoors and firefighting, certainly, but also her love of mentoring young women to reach their dreams even if their chosen field is dominated by men. For Warner, her entry in the Ms. America pageant was also an opportunity to indulge in her softer side.
