Excerpts from wrex.com:
The Rockford Fire Department saved Christmas for one family after their home was nearly destroyed by a fire two weeks ago
The Rivas are just one of several families being adopted by the Rockford Fire Department this year. While firefighters typically deliver gifts to the family’s home, they made a special exception for the Rivas, bringing them to the station for a visit with Santa.
“We’re out all year long putting out all the fires we see all the devastation it causes families and we would just like to help out when we can other than just showing up and putting the fire out,” said Rockford Firefighter/Paramedic Chad Moe.
RFD delivered presents to 11 other families throughout the Rockford area.
