"For many people, seeing a fire truck in a
normally quiet neighborhood can be a little frightening. But for Michael Peters,
it's a great sight.
The Maumelle Fire Department is making Michael an honorary fire chief for a day.
Inside his home, Michael gets to see his box full of fire gear and clothing.
Captain Eugene Stacy asks, “You want to take a ride on the fire truck with us?"
Michael quickly asked, "Yeah, could I do that?"
Michael gets geared up and back outside he's getting ready to a ride. It's
