The members of Camden (NJ) Squad 7 and Rescue 1 and Battalion 1 teamed up to provide gifts to Riley. He was sent shirts, stickers, and patches of the companies.
Riley wanted to thank the members in person and visited Liberty Station on Friday. Rescue 1 made Riley an honorary firefighter and provided him with a frontice. He toured the firehouse and checked out all the tools on the rescue company.
