Single dad builds son raddest fire truck bed ever

2/19/2013

If you were worried dads in America aren't taking active enough roles in their kids' lives, meet this dude. He says he's a single father who works as a firefighter, and was inspired to build his son a fire truck bed after the boy said he wanted to grow up to be like Pops. Using salvaged parts of old trucks, he rigged up the playhouse with a working switch panel to control flashing red lights and a siren, a CB with a live dispatch scanner, a play ignition switch, fake phone and pump-pressure valve. Add to that a roughly 20-inch monitor to stream kids' movies and this fellow's pretty much blown the competition away for world's coolest dad. Thanks, guy. Way to make our Superman sheets look totally lame. [Source]
