Ruby’s mom says she was really excited about the ride in Engine 12 today.
“She was outside early waiting for them, she was ready to get right on,” says Rachel Oshlag.
“She is really proud of herself, she found out she won and came home and told me. We got to go to the fire station for lunch, which was very fun and a tour, but I think this was the part she was most excited about was riding to school in a fire truck.”
