VIDEO: Sometimes people come into your life and you just can't forget them.
Or in the case of one Adams County firefighter, there was no way he could forget.
When Engine 12 rolls on a call, it's typically Doug Owens in the driver's seat.
"First call today and I can guarantee it won't be the last," Doug said as Adams County Fire Rescue recently let Denver7 ride-along.
"Of course, every day is not the same," Doug said.
While the days are never the same, the routine is a different story.
"A lot of firefighters carry stuff with them that means stuff," said Doug.
"I've always seen this stuffed animal dalmatian in the truck,” said firefighter Craig Samoy. “And I’m like - 'Oh, Doug's got a co-pilot with him. That's kind of cool.’"
“I grab my helmet, my boots, my pants, I grab Traci and we go in the truck," Doug said.
