This Couple’s Car Went Up In Flames, But The Engagement Ring Left Inside Survived And Made For An Unforgettable Proposal
Two weeks ago, a pair of high school sweethearts embarked on a car ride that they will never forget.
While driving through Tennessee in a rental car, Brooklynn Stevens and her boyfriend Myers Hart heard an alarmingly loud “bang.”
The couple quickly exited their vehicle before it “went up in flames.” But, the car’s damage was the least of Myers’ worries.
He remembered that something much more valuable was still inside of the burning car– a recently purchased engagement ring.
The Williamson County Sheriff’s Office was contacted, and first responders quickly put out the roaring flames. Then, Myers managed to secretly inform responders of his “very important item.”
Williamson Fire-Rescue recounted the fantastic save and romantic event that happened next in a statement posted on Facebook.
“Upon salvage and overhaul of the vehicle, firefighters made an important SAVE. While almost all contents and the vehicle were destroyed, the ring box containing this very important item was saved with no damage,” the fire department wrote.
After Myers recovered the ring from first responders, he then decided to propose to Brooklynn on the spot.

“The driver made the decision to ask for his girlfriend’s hand in marriage safely off the road, and she said YES!” the fire department continued.
Myers believes that the ring’s perseverance through the fire was “a sign” and took advantage of the one-of-a-kind moment.
“We wish many years of happiness to the future bride and groom!” the fire department finished.
And while the Facebook community is ecstatic for the happy couple, they also applauded the Williamson Fire Department for their helpful efforts.

“Awesome job, guys! I am proud to be a Williamson Fire Department member,” commented one user.
“This will make for quite the engagement story! Well done, men,” added a second user.
