Time sure can fly! OT Harris is working as a summer intern with the same KFD crew that helped deliver him back in 2005.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — In 2005, a Knoxville Fire Department crew rushed to help bring a baby into the world. Now 18 years later, the child they helped deliver has grown up and is working with that very same crew!

The Knoxville Fire Department said OT Harris signed up to work for a summer internship with the city of Knoxville.

"It’s a small world! In 2005 this KFD crew assisted in the delivery of Mr. OT Harris. Today this crew is working with Mr. Harris as part of the Summer in the City intern program!" KFD said.
