First came flashing lights, then the woop-woop of sirens as families, friends and neighbors gazed northward. No one along the Lynnwood street asked “Where’s the fire?”
It was all for one bright-eyed boy, 3-year-old Eli Kincaid.
As an impressive display of fire trucks, emergency medical vehicles and police cars rolled past the home of Jill and Tyler Kincaid, their son Eli was joined by loved ones in his front yard. Held aloft by his grandfather, Kevin Terrell, the little boy in the fire-engine shirt and red pants took in the scene, reaching out and clapping with delight.
Tuesday’s spectacle along 64th Avenue West was organized by Make-A-Wish Alaska & Washington. In July 2018, then 18-month-old Eli was diagnosed with Alexander disease.
