Letter to the Editor: Central Fire Department

By  | 

 

    I would like to give a special thanks to our Central Fire Department. Today upon stopping at Frog's on Greenwell Springs Road, for gas, I pulled up next to one of their fire trucks. My 3 year old son loves Firemen and fire trucks so upon seeing a real fire truck he got very excited and wanted to say "Hi". I approached the gentleman who was putting gas in the fire truck and asked if it would be okay if my son said hello. He gladly said "Sure". I brought over my son and 4 year old daughter and he and the other gentleman on the truck were so awesome! They let them see the inside of the truck, let them sit on the drivers and passenger seats, they even let my son honk the loud horn. To top it off, they gave both kids little fireman hats. 
    My son has not stopped talking about this experience all day and I'm sure he'll speak of it for months to come. I sadly did not get the names of these two men but I am very grateful that they were so nice and made two little kids very happy. They are very appreciated and I want them to know.
Sincerely,
Jill Sygula
