These first responders in Wisconsin threw a personal parade for a brother and sister whose birthday parties were canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. 'It made it the best birthday ever,' 5-year-old Jaxon Zawacki said.
As Jaxon, Croix and their parents stood in front of their home in Osseo, Wisconsin, a parade of four firetrucks, two ambulances and two police cars flashed their lights and sounded their sirens as they drove by. One fireman got out of his truck to drop off some plastic firefighter hats and stickers. For Jaxon, who has always loved firetrucks and police cars, the personal parade was more than he could ever ask for. "It made it the best birthday ever," Jaxon told CNN.
"We weren't expecting it to be as great as it was," Hailey said."We just thought maybe they'd drive one firetruck by, but we got out there and there were all of the firetrucks, the Osseo Police Department and Trempealeau County Sheriff's Department, the Mayo Clinic ambulances. It just brought tears to your eyes." The fire department's EMS captain, Kirk Gunderson, created the idea and said he's already received five more requests.
