When a Burleson woman learned that her date to a Night to Shine had cancelled at the last minute, her mother turned to the Burleson Fire Department for help. “I got a call last Friday from a young lady’s mom who told me that she had a crazy request,” Burleson Fire Chief K.T. Freeman said. “She explained that her daughter was going to a Night to Shine and that her date could no longer take her. She was very emotional and told us that her daughter was distraught. She said she didn’t know where else to turn.” Chief Freeman assured the worried mother that her daughter would have a date for the dance and called firefighter Kade Watson into his office to explain the situation. “I told Kade what was going on and he said ‘I’ll do it,’” Freeman said. “He never hesitated.”
