Where there's smoke... there's an elaborate marriage proposal
VENTURA, CALIF. — An on-duty firefighter actually started a “fire” recently as part of an elaborate marriage proposal in Ventura, Calif.
Zach Steele placed six smoke machines in the attic of a house he shared with his girlfriend and then went off to work, according to the Huffington Post.
He set the machines off remotely and soon tons of smoke began spewing out of the house.
His girlfriend’s mother — who knew about the prank — then called 911, so Steele and his fire crew came to the rescue.
He took off his oxygen mask and proposed — as seen in body camera footage from a colleague.
“I was so confused and I honestly could not sort through my emotions enough to really comprehend what was happening,” said fiancée Maddison Ridgik.
“When he got down on one knee, I was so emotional. I was still shaking and crying, yet so excited… It was truly the best, most indescribable moment of my life.”
