One of the many holiday presents donated to the family of fallen Philadelphia police Sgt. Robert Wilson III by Collingdale Fire Companies #1 and #2.
The family of fallen Philadelphia police Sgt. Robert Wilson III was reminded of the true reason for the season Sunday when decorated Collingdale Fire Company fire trucks made a special stop at their home.
According to CBSPhilly, the company's firefighters, as well as several Philadelphia police officers, unloaded several donated gifts for the family.
Wilson's two sons were 9 years old and 1 year old when their father was killed in the line of duty in early March.
Among the gifts was a special present for Wilson's youngest son, nicknamed "Chubbs." The Chevy Silverado Power Wheels truck had been customized with decals of his father's face and the nickname.
