Fire is Everyone's Fight

Woman: WHEN I WAS LITTLE, ALL I WANTED TO BE WAS A FIREFIGHTER. IT MEANT MORE TO ME THAN ANYTHING IN THE WHOLE WORLD. I WANTED TO KEEP PEOPLE SAFE FROM FIRE. I'M 28 NOW AND A PROJECT MANAGER, AND I FIGHT FIRES EVERY DAY BY MAKING SURE THEY NEVER START. I INSTALLED SMOKE ALARMS ON EVERY LEVEL OF OUR HOME AND INSIDE EVERY BEDROOM, AND I TEST THEM ONCE A MONTH TO MAKE SURE THEY WORK. I'M CAREFUL IN THE KITCHEN AND KEEP AN EYE ON WHAT I FRY TO PREVENT COOKING FIRES. MOST IMPORTANTLY, I WANT TO KEEP MY DAUGHTER SAFE FROM FIRE AND BURNS. I MAKE SURE SHE'S AT LEAST 3 FEET AWAY FROM THE STOVE OR GRILL WHEN I'M COOKING. AND I TAUGHT HER TO TELL ME IF SHE EVER SEES MATCHES OR A LIGHTER SO I CAN PUT THEM IN A SAFE PLACE. SHE'S 4 NOW, AND SHE SAYS SHE WANTS TO BE A FIREFIGHTER, TOO. I TELL HER, "YOU CAN BE, HONEY. YOU CAN BE." [SHUTTER CLICKS]
