VIDEO: It's not usually a good thing when firefighters knock at your door, but this is the exception. James Larson got a special lift to school Thursday morning all because he knew his address. “I’m so happy I won,” James said. Andrew Ridd is one of the United Fire Authority firefighters who picked him up. “About a year or so ago, we had a child who found their mother on the floor. Did a great thing, called 911. Then the dispatcher asked okay, where are you? This kid didn't know their address,” Ridd said. After that mother passed away, UFA launched a campaign with local school districts to try and prevent the same scenario from happening again.
