Merry Christmas from Barrow Fire Station. 🎅🎁🚒

The shifts have been delivering presents to the children’s ward at Furness General Hospital to put a smile on the children’s faces who find themselves in hospital over Christmas.

A massive thank you to the local stores for their donations Tesco Barrow, Asda Barrow, Morrisons Barrow, Smyths Toys Barrow and a hugely humbling thanks goes out to the local people of Barrow and surrounding areas for their personal donations.

Have a fantastic Christmas Day and stay safe.
