The two girls love firefighters and they actually want to become firefighters when they grow up. So Sergeant Gotke dressed up as a firefighter and came to the house. The girls knew that a firefighter was coming to visit them, but they did not know that it was going to be a special firefighter.

They were so excited and filled with so much emotion. It was so precious. They could not hold back their tears! They hugged their daddy so tightly.
