Antonio Garcia-Cordoza even got to rescue a princess from a castle.
For 9-year-old Antonio Garcia-Cordoza, who is battling a life-threatening illness, it was better than a daydream, it was a dream day. And it was real.
Moving across town to the city’s Eastside Firehouse, Antonio got to sit behind the wheel of a big rig fire truck. “Now I just need you to back it up,” joked Mayor Hector Lora. On Tuesday, Antonio stepped into his firefighting gear and received a personalized helmet, adorned with artwork by firefighter and artist Eliezear Pagan.There was a fire that needed to be put out in the adjoining training facility. Chief Trentacost strode around the corner with the newest firefighter and Antonio gave the command “Charge the line!”
The princess, Wish Coordinator Haley Bochicchio, was appreciative. “Thank you sooo much, Antonio. That was so wonderful of you to help me,” she said with a gracious princess bow once the two were back on solid ground again.
