Firefighters from across Western New York came together Tuesday night to help grant a wish to a young boy who is battling brain cancer.
Ben Stromecki, 12, comes from a family of firefighters. Tuesday, he got his wish to take a journey on the world's oldest working fireboat.
"Changes your world, definitely. But you learn, you deal with it, and you go through what you need to do. You're supported by a lot of people, a lot of family, a lot of friends. That helps us out more than anything," says Ben’s mom, Kim Stromecki. One of Ben's wishes was to take a trip on the Edward M. Cotter in Buffalo.
