VIDEO: A local volunteer firefighter is highlighting the dangers of the job after nearly being killed in the line of duty. Now, he's warning drivers to slow down and move over when they see emergency lights flashing. Haley Dalton wants people to see the look on her son's face when she had to tell him his daddy was hit by a car. Five-year-old Finn was terrified. Two-year-old Parker Kate just wanted to fix him. But volunteer firefighter Spence Dalton was never worried about himself. "Where's my wife, where's my two kids. I knew it wasn't my time to go and I was going to fight my way through it," he said. "And not let myself go on that side of the road." He spoke to 11Alive on the phone because he still thinks his injuries are too hard to look at on camera. But he wants people to see the devastation of what can happen when drivers don't move over when they see an emergency vehicle.
