OSAWATOMIE, Kan. (AP) - A fire officials says a southeastern Kansas driver for the U.S. Postal Service “saved Christmas” after his delivery truck caught fire.

“Your Prime delivery may have just lost its Prime,” The Osawatomie Volunteer Fire Department said in the Facebook post. “The good news is, the driver saved Christmas!”
