In today's "Morning Moms," we are highlighting a very special duo who heard a call to serve and answered.
Denise King from Smyrna usually plays cheerleader to her two sons, 17-year-old Gabriel and 24-year-old Damien. But during the pandemic, Denise and Gabe took on a new adventure: They started the process of becoming firefighters.
The pair joined the Smyrna Delaware Citizens Hose Volunteer Company in September.
But then the real work began.
The two spent nights and weekends attending the New Castle County Fire School.
It meant quizzes, tests and countless hours of hands-on training.
During that same time, Denise was working full-time at a health care facility and Gabe was finishing up his junior year in High school.
