Most days they're on the front lines keeping us safe, but on this Christmas first responders in Park Ridge were busy bringing holiday cheer to those who need it the most.
With lights flashing and sirens blazing, first responders from the City of Park Ridge had unfinished business to take care of on this frigid Christmas night. It was a fleet of patrol cars, not heading to a major emergency or chaotic scene, but rather a place where a wave and a smile goes a long way.
After circling the hospital, the motorcade pulled over, and one by one, officers saluted and celebrated the brave children spending their Christmas on the mend and in some cases fighting to live. "They wanted to do something for the kids. They are in our community. They are part of our community. And it's a holiday, and every officer wanted to be here," said Stephanie Conboy, with Park Ridge PD community strategies.
