PUEBLO COUNTY — Five lucky students in Pueblo County got to be fire bosses Thursday. They were picked to be Fire Chief for a Day.
They had to write essays about why they should be a Fire Chief for a Day. News5 spoke with a few of the winners about what firefighters mean to them.
"I feel like they really help out the community, and do a lot of stuff for the community," said Ethan Oseipoku, who participated in Fire Chief for a Day. "You can put out fires, ride a fire truck, and you can also save people and animals."
The students were treated to the following:
- lunch
- rides in the fire trucks
- a magic show
