RANDALLS ISLAND, N.Y. — Probationary firefighter Zayid Santana proposed to his girlfriend in full turnout gear while dangling on the side of a building Sunday.

The NY Daily News reported that Zayid popped the question on FDNY’s family day, suspended on the fire academy’s building. He was harnessed with a rope when he surprised her through a window, where she said “yes.”

FDNY officials said they were happy she didn’t leave him hanging.
