Dream of Being a Firefighter
Great story...read the whole thing (from Pittsburghlive.com):
KITTANNING -- At 2:25 p.m. Sunday, Armstrong 911 dispatched the borough's Hose Company 4 on a routine "smoke" call, but for one new firefighter, the call was anything but routine.Hose Company 4's newest member, Michael Smock, sat in the front seat of the company's big fire engine and talked into the radio microphone to tell 911 that the fire unit was rolling. The ride was short, and thankfully no smoke was found, but when Smock returned, he got to man a fire hose anyway.
...
Smock, a resident of Evergreen Homes in West Kittanning, has always wanted to be a fireman, but spinal bifida and other disabilities kept him from fulfilling his dream -- until yesterday.
Congratulations to Firefighter Smock! Way to go, Kittanning Hose Company 4.
