A kind-hearted person brightened up the day for firefighters in March by sending them a hamper of gifts.

The sender left the goodies, including chocolate, fruit and crisps, on the doorstep of the fire station last week.

They also left a card that “melted their hearts”.

The message reads: “To everyone at March fire station, thanks for your kindness and thoughtfulness, too. No one can do things the way that you do.”

Written inside is: “Thank you for the work that you do. Thankfully I have never needed to call you, but it is nice to know that you are there”.

One person said on social media: “These kind of gestures really warm the heart” and another added “that’s so lovely and thoughtful”.
