Dean Miller is a 14-year-old boy from the USA. He is helping out at a fire station in Ohio. He wants to help in every way he can. He goes on call with the firefighters and helps clean the trucks, windows, and floors. “It feels really great because you know you are helping people to keep them safe,” said Dean.
Dean’s grandfather and great-grandfather are both firefighters, so Dean was able to start helping early on. Dean knows what firefighters do, so it is natural for him to become a volunteer. Dean is the youngest volunteer at the station. The older he becomes, the more responsibilities he has to take on.
The voluntary work also helps him a lot. He learns skills for the future. Dean wants to be a firefighter someday. “I feel that volunteering is important. If you volunteer for something, you will know what you need to do when you get a job there, and you won’t need as much training,” Dean said. The volunteers need to call the fire station if there is a fire. But as the firefighters can not reach the place at once, they need to take actions like emergency evacuation(紧急疏散). So the volunteers play important roles. “I’m learning that it takes courage(勇气), and it takes a team to help people,” Dean said.
