KINDERGARTENER Patrick Frew, at left, was excited to ride a big red fire truck to school driven by Fire Capt. Eric Pepper. He shared the fun with three of his friends (clockwise from left): Connor Balsley (Batchelder), Ella Balsley (Hilltop), and Daniel Wittenbach (Little). Patrick is the grandson of retired Everett Fire Chief David Butler and proudly wore his grandfather’s helmet during his ride aboard Engine 2. His parents submitted the winning bid at the Little School’s Casino Royale Silent Auction earlier this year to win the ride and support extracurricular activities at his school. (Courtesy Photo)
