One Carefully Planned Wedding Proposal

West Manatee firefighters took first place in team fund raising and second place in the competition at the 4th Annual Climb Tampa event, but also took part in a carefully planned wedding proposal. Team member Lt. Ryan Moore proposed to his girlfriend, Marissa Crosby, while atop the Bank of America building in downtown Tampa.

"Two weeks before the event, we did a practice run and the security guard let us up on the roof," Moore explained. "I thought it would be a nice place to propose. I told him what I wanted and he was very accommodating."
