THE dreams of a little boy who suffers from a serious illness were realised when Runcorn fire brigade treated him to a tour of their station.

Firefighter Andy Watson, who works on Red Watch, said: "He was just really keen on the fire engines. We brought him around and showed him the workings of the place."
