| I was a young firefighter. | |
| We were responding to a young man who had a bee sting and went into anaphylactic shock and was in full arrest. | |
| So I told my partner, I said, we don't have time for an ambulance. | |
| You drive to the hospital. | |
| I'll take care of it. | |
| I'll give CPR. And we took this young child to the hospital. | |
| We ended up saving his life. | |
| Fast forward 20-some years, came to the station, knocked on the door. | |
| I was a battalion chief at the time, and he said, you don't know me, but remember that call on, and he named the street, and you saved my life. | |
| And he's now an attorney. | |
| So those are the things that are so rewarding. | |
| You help a lot of people. | |
| They have chronic medical conditions that you respond on a lot. | |
| You respond on them sometimes twice a week, three times a week. | |
| They become your family, too, and they're happy to see you when they're in distress. | |
| They know it's comforting for them to know that you're there to help them. | |
| The reward, yes. |
