MADISON, Wis. (AP) â?? A potentially fatal accident has inspired one University of Wisconsin-Madison student to pursue a career as a firefighter and paramedic.
Bill Schrack spent Saturday scrubbing floors, cleaning the bathroom and washing dishes at Fire Station No. 1. It was his way of thanking the rescue workers who saved his life.
Schrack, 20, of Barrington, Ill., was hurt in a mo-ped accident on July 1. He had been headed home to the Delta Tau Delta fraternity house when his mo-ped hit a dent in the concrete and he vaulted over the handlebars.
