A young man in Tennessee lucked up after nearly losing an engagement ring in a blazing vehicle fire on Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Myers Hart and his high school sweetheart, Brooklynn Stevens, were driving a rental car on Monday afternoon when they heard a loud pop.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Hart pulled over to the side of the road to inspect the vehicle when he realized the car was on fire.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThere was a loud bang. I think the coolant reservoir blew and it shot the hood up and spewed fluid everywhere and then it went up in flames,\u201d Hart told WSMV News4 Nashville.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The couple made it out safely, along with Stevens\u2019 best friend, who was also in the vehicle. But a<\/span>fter escaping, Hart realized that the engagement ring he was hiding was still in the burning car. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201c[Brooklynn\u2019s] friend knew about [the ring] and we looked at each other and said, \u2018The ring is in there and we couldn\u2019t get it out,\u2019\u201d Hart said.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Despite the gloomy circumstances, Stevens\u2019 best friend remained hopeful.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cAfter our car fire happened, a butterfly landed on our car and my best friend was like, \u2018Oh that means good luck,\u2019 and I was like, \u2018Yeah we have such good luck. The car caught on fire. Amazing luck,\u2019\u201d Stevens joked.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Thankfully, her friend\u2019s positivity wasn\u2019t in vain.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

After firefighters extinguished the blaze, she quietly asked them to look for the ring.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Surprisingly, the token of love was practically untouched in the burned vehicle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe started sifting through all the ashes and everything and it was melted against the seat and actually it was perfectly encased in the ring box, and I opened it up and it looked brand new so it was really a miracle,\u201d fire engineer Steve Hopkins told News4.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Hart took that as a sign to propose to Stevens in the midst of the unlikely scene.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cHe gets on one knee and I\u2019m like, \u2018Here?\u2019 and I started crying. I said, \u2018Here? Right now? Like the car just caught on fire are you serious? I mean yes! Yes of course I want to. But like the car.\u2019 And he was like. \u2018I know,\u2019\u201d said Stevens.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
