A lot of kids dream of helping out on a fire truck. Some of them will grow up and get to do it one day, but many won't. Myrtle Beach Fire Rescue is working to change that with one special group.
"It's meaningful to clean them. It's meaningful to meet the firemen and the people that work here," Angie Maynard, special education teacher for Myrtle Beach High School, said as she watched her students clean the truck.
Maynard said her students love to come to MBFR station No. 6 on 38th Avenue.
"So one of their favorite things is helping them. It's not necessarily always learning the skill, it's being part of their community," she said..
Two of Maynard's students, Dustin and Kayla, graduated from their community-based service class Wednesday at MBFR. They'd been working with firefighters at the station for two years.
