Original Toronto Star caption: Firefighters put kids in the driver's seat. Scott Allen; 11; left and Sherri Hickey; 16; of the Bloorview Children's Hospital seem delighted as they try out the wheelchairs they were given by North York's firefighters yesterday. The fire-fighters used the money they would have spent on 1983 Christmas cards to order the two chairs - one electric and the other manual - which are specially designed for the users.
