Firefighter Rappels Building To "Rescue" Girlfriend Before Surprise Proposal

A New York City firefighter planned a one-of-a-kind proposal for his unsuspecting girlfriend by rappelling down a building in a faux training drill to ask for her hand in marriage. Dasia Moore, 28, and Jayson Ralph, 30, have been together five years, during which time Jayson advanced from being a FDNY EMT, through fire academy, and training as an official firefighter. Jayson knows Dasia loves everything about firefighting, having been a fan of firefighter TV shows since before the couple even met. Having decided he wanted to ask Dasia to marry him, Jayson, from Queens, decided to tie in her love of firefighting – so he selected the fire departments' Family Day as the perfect opportunity. The night before the June 27 event, Jayson told Dasia his squad would be doing a drill, where one person from the squad would have to save a family member from the window of a burning building. There was a possibility, Jayson added, that he would be chosen, and if he was, Dasia would need to be rescued from the window.
