WARREN The calendar read Dec. 8, but it already felt like Christmas morning for Zayden and Nathaniel Czebieniak.
The brothers picked up several new toys during the evening as the Warren Fire Department held its 14th annual Shop with a Firefighter at Meijer.
WFD members let the Christmas spirit ring when they took 30 Van Dyke Public Schools students from Carlson, Lincoln and McKinley elementary schools on a shopping spree at the store’s 12 Mile and Mound roads location. The Meijer corporation provided each student with a $100 gift card. Each child was paired up with a firefighter, and together they shopped for Barbies, Nerf footballs, board games, remote control cars, L.O.L. Surprise Dolls and more.
