The Oklahoma City fire department gained an honorary firefighter this week, in the form of a 2-year-old boy named Jase.
Jase is fighting a rare form of cancer that recently took the life of his 6-year-old brother.
"At the time they found a tumor had engrossed his whole left kidney,” his mother Shannon Bollenbach said. “He had one in his pelvis and one in his brain."
He’s gone through multiple operations, and weeks of chemo and radiation.
After treatment here at Children’s Thursday, Jase wasn’t so happy. But that quickly changed when he was met by Oklahoma City firefighters and a big red engine.
Jase got in, buckled up, and was ready to go. The sirens sounded and he was off to the fire station.
When he got to the station his face really lit up. Jase got to slide down the pole, use the hose, and even got a badge.
"You have no idea the joy on his face,” Bollenbach said. “There’s been so much hurt on his face and pain lately that you know, seeing him happy, he needed it. He deserved it. We all did. I can’t thank the Oklahoma City fire department enough. I mean this is something that we will all remember forever."
After the trip to the fire station, Jase got to enjoy a special dinner with firefighters.
And Jase’s battle is not over. He has one more round of chemo left.
