After witnessing the great work of our fire crews, this future fire captain decided he could help make a difference.

He had saved $7 of pocket money but thought the crew at Lake Innes Rural Fire Brigade could make good use of it.

He visited the station to hand over his hard-earned cash and in return got to sit in a fire truck and turn on the siren.

Ayrton is off to Tacking Point Public School next year and when he grows up has his mind set on becoming a race car driver or lollipop tester.

He has been learning about koalas and firefighters at his daycare class. Dad Joel said he was saving up for a Lamborghini and is ready to start filling up the piggy bank again.

Ayrton promised the firies he would take them all for a spin in his new car when he eventually has enough money to purchase it.
