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.

00:00I'm scared of heights, so I was really apprehensive about it, but he eventually convinced me to face
00:05my fears and just do it. I had no idea that it was coming that day.
00:13Jason and I, we met in 2020, and we had been inseparable since then. We were always
00:18facetiming. We did long distance for a really long time. When we met, he knew that I loved
00:24firefighting. All I do is watch firefighter shows. The night before the family day, he
00:28actually warned me and told me that his squad would be doing a single slide drill and that he
00:35may get picked. It was my responsibility to go up on the window ledge and put my feet out. And
00:42when
00:42he got to me, I should wrap my legs around him and wrap my arms around his neck. I was
00:48really scared,
00:49even though I was smiling the entire time. I was trying not to look super scared because I knew
00:54that there were people downstairs, super excited, and they were recording.
01:01We made it safely, and then he grabbed my hand and we walked toward the front of center stage.
01:11The moment that he got down on one knee, I couldn't believe it. I was so astounded. And then I
01:15saw
01:15that his squad mates had held up letters that say, marry me. It was just beautiful. It was a beautiful
01:20moment.
01:24It was beautiful. It was beautiful. It was beautiful. It was beautiful. It was beautiful.
01:24It was beautiful. It was beautiful. It was beautiful. It was beautiful. It was beautiful.
01:34Knowing that he went through so much to plan something so special for me, it really warms my
01:40heart. And I see proposals all the time on social media. I never would have imagined that
01:44someone would love me enough to do something so special. And I love that everyone just gets to see
01:50what type of a person he actually is beyond him being a firefighter. Just seeing how loving he is.
01:57You can share that I live by Windows 111 day, I've never been to some McK sempre and I'm
01:57anything like that, hashtaggaeto. Some luz for the time.
