Firetruck bed for an aspiring firefighter (© burnstyle via Reddit)

Single dad builds son raddest fire truck bed ever

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.
