The 10-year-old wanted a ride to the hospital in a fire truck for his surgery, and the department came through early Monday morning.

After three days at Boston Children's Hospital, the boy was discharged. And his final stop before heading home was to visit Engine 3 firefighters Jamie Arroyo, Keith Pulley, Phil Holda, and Keith Kelly to thank them for their help.
