This probie is on fire.
A newly minted FDNY firefighter-in-training also recently picked up the title of fiancé when his fellow Bravest helped him pull off an incredible proposal.
Probationary firefighter Jayson Ralph dropped to one knee during the department’s Family Day on Randall’s Island on Saturday — shocking his now-fiancée who thought she was simply participating in a mock rescue.
Heartwarming pictures show Ralph first rappelling down a building in his gear as girlfriend Dasia Moore proudly watches from her seat on one of its window ledges, waiting to be “rescued.”
Ralph then scooped her up away from the fake fire — and stunned her with some real ice.
Several other firemen stood neaby, each holding out a letter that read out: “Marry me.”
“All-hands were clearly operating to help ask the question,” the FDNY said on X.
“Congrats, Proby!”
Family Day is when the FDNY’s probationary firefighters invite their family and friends to witness the life-saving skills they’ve been practicing over the past several months before they gradaute from the academy.
The drills at the Randall’s Island Fire Academy include mock rescues and firehose demonstrations.
Social media was on fire with congratulations and praise for the newly engaged pair.
“When “sparks” fly! Congrats!” a user quipped.
Another person wrote, “Who says Probies can’t have at least a little fun?!”
The fun engagement occurred a few days after an FDNY-focused high school in Brooklyn held graduation — with many of its departing students expected to head to the academy at some point.
That’s good news for the City Council, which is pushing to beef up the department’s numbers on dozens more engines.
