Firefighters visit ‘fire brigade mad’ girl to thank her for providing kind gift
Firefighters from Carrickfergus Station paid a special visit to a Greenisland girl last week to thank her for a generous gift she had provided to the emergency service personnel.
Evelyn (4) left an ornamental firefighter conducting a rescue on the doorstep of the Lancasterian Street station at the start of the month along with a note stating: “A gift for your tea room, thank you.”
After the gift was left, a spokesperson for the east Antrim station posted on Facebook: “Massive thank you to Evelyn for our little gift that she left on our doorstep. What a kind girl you are! We love it, thank you.”
After firefighters found out where the kindhearted child lived, they paid a visit on September 5 to personally thank her.
Speaking to the Times after the visit, Firefighter Robb, who met up with the Greenisland girl said: “On Monday we took our fire engine to her home.
“We let her have a go at the hose, let her wear my fire helmet and we gave her a gift. This absolutely made this little girl’s dream as she is fire brigade mad.”
