GOLCAR Baptist Playgroup had a special surprise visit from Huddersfield fire station's Blue Watch.

The firefighters - along with a fire engine - delighted the youngsters with the siren and picked out one child as an honorary fireman.

Newly-named Fireman Sam is otherwise known as Sam Schofield, a two-year- old member of the playgroup.

Supervisor Barbara Townsend said: "The children had great fun and the visit went really well.

"The children drew pictures of the fire engine and the firefighters gave them books to enjoy."

The visit was instigated by student helper Charlotte Bailey as part of her GNVQ studies.
