My captain's wife and kids were out on a campout while he was at work with us. A little while into the shift he got a message from his wife that they couldn't find his youngest kids stuffed rabbit. It turned out it got left in the car that he took to the station. This was a very sentimental and important bunny and instead of just calling back that it got left behind he decided to go a different route.
We proceeded to take a series of pictures of the stuffed bunny helping out at the firehouse and taking part in all of our activities. The bunny in the gym lifting weights, sitting on the engine going to a call, wearing eye protection and holding wrenches while laying on the creeper to work on the engine. Best of all, we cut the fingertips off of a medical glove and put them on the bunny's hands so he could scrub toilets like a good firefighter. We even got a picture of the bunny flowing the big deck gun during one of our drills.
All these pictures were sent with a message to his kid, from the bunny, saying that the bunny forgot to say he was spending the tour at the firehouse with daddy during the campout. It was a big hit, the kid was no longer worried about the bunny and they anxiously awaited what pictures would be sent the next day.
Nice save Cap.
