I'm Sam Bridges,

I'm 24 years old,

I'm very interested in the fire service,

I collect model fire engines, photos and other fire service memorabilla,

I used to visit fire stations across the east midlands and Greater Manchester but I don't now as I have had complaints about writing to the fire service too much (Other people have been making it out I have but it isn't true) the truth is that the fire station adminstrators have always arranged the station visits but they have been done away with now due to budget cuts and fire crews are unable to sort the visits out so that why they have the fire station open days
