Super Carter sworn in as Firefighter

[jag06]

Carter is a terminally ill 3 year old, and now with only days to live. The local fire department had him a special fire helmet and badge made and swore him in as a firefighter. They had a parade of firetrucks go through his neighborhood and let him and his family tour them. The firefighter in the interview, Bill, is a friend of mine. We went to EMT school together. Be prepared to get a little misty eyed, especially reading the family blog.

Here is the blog that his family created to let everyone keep track of his battler against the cancer.

You will have a hard time finding a group of men with bigger hearts than those of the fire and EMS community.
