Forget the Bus, We're Taking a Fire Engine to School! [VIDEO]

Adam Jacozzi, 7, his twin brother Anthony Jr. and their friend Kenny Schneider, a Fawn Hollow Elementary School fifth grader, wore backpacks while standing at the end of a driveway Tuesday morning and waiting for their ride to school ... but it wasn't a yellow school bus that turned onto Sweetbriar Lane that day.

A red fire engine rolled toward the boys a few minutes before 9 a.m. with its flashing strobe lights and blaring siren. The Jacozzis won the raffle at the Monroe Volunteer Fire Department Open House and Fire Safety Day Sunday and the grand prize was a ride to school in the fire truck of their choice.

Monroe Firefighter Kevin Catalano drove the Quint 200 to the brothers' house. Parents, Anthony and Janice Jacozzi, each had a camera to record their sons' special moment.

"Oh it's so cute. The kids were so excited when they called," Janice said of her children learning they had won the raffle.

Anthony added, "They were both jumping up and down when they heard."

"I want to be a firefighter," Adam said before the truck arrived.

As the boys boarded the fire engine, Janice gushed, "Isn't this cool?"

Her husband got to ride shotgun, while Janice followed the truck to Fawn Hollow in her SUV.
