On March 19th, silent auction winner, Alex Dumas, was picked up from his home by KFR Squad 4. Lt. Kevin Johnson and FF Brian Metcalf gave Alex and Kevin a ride to school on KFR’s American LaFrance Eagle pumper.

According to Alex’s mom, “Alex was picked up today by the Kensington Fire & Rescue Dept (along with a friend). They rode up to the house with lights flashing and horns blasting! It was also Alex’s birthday and they handed him a birthday card and a baseball hat. Alex and Kevin Dunn climbed into the back of the fire truck and were whisked away to school in style. I think it was one of Alex’s best moments…..and mine too!”

The entire event was very well-received, both by Alex and Kevin, the parents videoing/photo-documenting the pick-up, and at the school; where the other students were all gathered at the windows to view their arrival.

Congratulations, Alex! We hope you had a very memorable experience.
