Lawrence firefighter surprised with new gear after car is stolen
LAWRENCE -- A Lawrence firefighter got a special Christmas surprise thanks to the kindness of others. About a month ago, Patrick Sweeney had his car stolen with all of his firefighting gear and some sentimental items inside.
Friends and fellow firefighters got together on Saturday to surprise Sweeney with a new tool. This one was engraved with the firehouse mascot and his grandfather's dog tags.
His grandfather's dog tags were in Sweeney's stolen car.
