A 9-year-old Louisville boy was honored by the mayor, firefighters, police and EMS for his bravery.
Kevin Olguin has been fighting a deadly disease for more than a year and now a community of emergency workers has been inspired to fight for him.
At Engine 5, Tower 2, on East Jefferson Street, firefighters made Kevin's dreams of becoming a firefighter come true. It all happened because one captain saw in him a trait that's a must for the job: courage
The fire station is a far cry from the hospitals Kevin has visited since being diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in November 2011.
?I like the part when I put my foot in and it went ?whoooo-whooo-rrr,?" Kevin said.
Capt. Mark LeMaster of Louisville Fire met Kevin at Klondike Elementary, where LeMaster is a nurse.
"I'd like him to come down to the firehouse, maybe have lunch with us, see how we do. Just let him hang out a bit,? LeMaster said.
"In the hospital, it's very like, uncomfortable in the hospital because I had to stay there,? Kevin said. ?Here, in the fire station, like really cool stuff and here with my best friends having fun."
Once firefighters heard about Kevin's fight, police officers, and EMS personnel wanted to join in and help make his wish a reality.
On Wednesday, Kevin?s dream came true.
