He was so determined to follow in his dad􀆳s footsteps that he persuaded two classmates, Niklas and Dalton, to sign up too. A few years later, the older firefighters quit their jobs. Suddenly, the three teens were not only helping the Sackets Harbor volunteer fire department, they were the Sackets Harbor volunteer fire department. They were the ones responding to the emergency calls of heart attacks, car accidents, and suicides.And they were the ones who were responsible to send patients to hospitals. “We went from not even having our licenses to saving people􀆳s lives,” Dalton told the reporter. As far as the teens were concerned, they couldn􀆳t quit their jobs.

The job is taxing. One night last fall, the crew responded to two emergency calls and a fire. They got home at 5:30 am, just two hours before school started. “It􀆳s definitely hard coming back from the calls and having to take an algebra test,” Grayden􀆳s younger brother Gannon said. But these brave teens didn􀆳t mind the hard work. As a matter of fact, when callers met their rescuers, a lot of them would ask, “Wait, how old are you?” That was what they felt the most priceless moment. 本文主要讲述了几个青少年志愿加入消防部门,一边完成学业,一边参与各项消防工作,为社区提供了极大的帮助。 1.Why did Brunet join the Sackets Harbor volunteer fire department?
