Hailed a hero for the way he and his team responded to the Fort McMurray wildfire, Wood Buffalo Fire Chief Darby Allen has been named one of this year's K-Days Parade marshals.

This year, they include a man who drove back and forth between Edmonton and Fort McMurray to deliver water to first responders during the wildfire, and a six-year-old boy who runs a hot chocolate and ice cream stand to raise money for charity.

It's time to meet the six local heroes that will serve as parade marshals at this year's K-Days Parade.
