DOVER — Longtime Dover paramedic and firefighter engineer Jennifer Myers said she often thinks back to the lives she was able to save rather than the ones that she could not.
In June 2013, a three-alarm fire was reported in the four-unit building on Cushing Street. A 16-year-old girl called 911 around 2:19 a.m. and reported she was home alone and trapped on the second floor of the burning apartment building.
"I was working that night," Myers recalled. "I drove the engine out of the South End station and quickly arrived on the scene, seeing her house engulfed in flames. That call will stay with me forever because we were able to get her out safely. I still keep in touch with her to this day, and check on her on the anniversary of the fire."
