Sue and Beth were visiting for a few days, Beth was in the front room and I heard her call out "Oh, Wow, Christmas has come early" and a fire engine pulled up outside next door. We all went out and persuaded Beth to go and talk to the firemen, she was very reluctant but she went. The fireman you can see was keen for Beth to join him in the cab, but Beth wasn't and didn't! The reason for the call was that they were fitting smoke alarms for our neighbour. It might seem like overkill to send a complete fire crew for such a small task but they would be the duty crew waiting for the next emergency call. Better to have them doing something rather than hanging about doing nothing.
