He explained in the caption: “When your mate works for the fire brigade. 👨🏻🚒🔥💦🚒🚨”

Not only did both kids get to try on firefighters’ clothing and equipment, short video clips also uploaded to social media showed they were even allowed to have a go at handling hoses!
“Haha that’s awesome. I assumed the hoses would be fairly powerful. Or maybe you just have super strong kids,” observed one Insta follower.
All three also posed for pictures inside and in front of the fire engine truck – and in one image Jack can be seen handling a hefty chopper!
Another video also revealed the trio were taken for a spin in the fire engine, with Nyla sitting in the front seats alongside the driver.
