STURTEVANT â Months before his senior year, Brandon Cruz was celebrating his birthday at Red Lobster with friends and family before firefighter paramedics ran into the restaurant and responded to a call of an older man having difficulty breathing.
Cruz admired the way the firefighters quickly moved on the scene, calmed the familyâs nerves and maintained a bond with one another, even when few words were exchanged.
At that moment, Cruz knew what he wanted to do for a living.
âI went back to school and told my counselor I wanted to become a firefighter and learn everything I can do to achieve that,â said Cruz.
