IF you've ever dreamt of arriving to an event in a blaze of glory then a group of firefighters may have the answer.

The enterprising group of 12 are offering local people a chance to sit back and relax in a converted limo-style fire engine.

Rob Fortune said: "We saw other people doing it in other places round the country so decided to do it. Twelve of us bought it and we spent a year converting it to an eight-seater fire engine. We kept its original features inside but made it more comfortable."

The interior includes a stereo and fridge, and there's fire equipment inside to keep inquisitive kids amused.

Red Alert Limos aim to provide transport for hen and stag nights, childrens' parties, birthdays, airport runs and even weddings.

Rob said: "It was hard work but everyone pitched in and did it. We're going to all take turns driving it and there will be someone looking after people." It seems this is one squad who are most certainly blazing.
