Me, along with her "sisters", my son and Y sub D, as we roll up on IFD Engine 140 blasting down our street for my proposal. She had absolutely no idea what was going on until I got down on one knee!! Caught her totally by surprise!! She thought it was either our way of lifting her spirits after a trying week (I think it worked LOL) or a FD community video of some sort to recruit new members. Note the towel in her hand....she was washing dishes when I left for the "page out" and evidently couldn't let it go haha!
We are dispatched to FD calls via a tone/voice pager we carry & then we go to the station to get on the appropriate apparatus for the call. Our Deputy chief, with permission of the city manager, set up a false page-out that I told her was our "code" for a bomb threat. What helped sell it was the fact that a few months prior to that we indeed had a bomb scare in town that I responded to, so it was all good!
Many, many thanks to RJ, John W., Gillian & Danny, Trey, Marisa, Sarah, Derek, Tender 130, the City Manager and the Dispatcher.
is it me ... or did she not seem excited ...
