In <\/span>early 2005, <\/span>Lateshia Hall<\/span><\/a> was getting ready to give birth to her seventh child. However, two days before her scheduled induction, Hall realized she was going into labor and that it was happening very quickly. She called 911 and members of the Knoxville Fire Department, who were trained as paramedics, responded just in time. They helped Hall deliver a baby boy whom she named OT Harris. Now that baby boy is a teen who is interning with the department.<\/span><\/p>\n

OT is now 18 and is preparing to attend East Tennessee State University this coming school year. This summer he is participating in the <\/span>Knoxville Summer in the City Intern Program<\/span><\/a>. According to their website, during the summer, <\/span>\u201ceach intern will be assigned to a department with a supervisor\/mentor in that department. The supervisor\/mentor will orient the intern to the department, train them on responsibilities, oversee their work, and meet with the intern on a weekly basis to provide instructional feedback.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
