The Garden Grove Fire Department, along with the Garden Grove Firefighters Association, Operation Be Kind and the OC Drive joined together to make Joshua’s wish come true.  

Doctors estimate that the young boy has about 4 months left to live, and the Garden Grove Fire Station #6 wanted to add something a little extra to Joshua’s surprise.

They found out he was a huge fan of Batman and were able to arrange to have Batman arrive on the fire truck to surprise the young boy.

Joshua and his family were able to ride on the firetruck for a few miles and with Garden Grove Mayor Steve Jones.

Officials say the fire truck was set up along the road to block lanes of traffic after a crash in the southbound lanes of I-35W near Berry Street.  

At around 5:45 a.m., a car slammed into the fire truck, injuring the driver of the car. The driver was transported to a hospital with minor injuries.
