Mystery donor gives £1000 to firefighters
A mystery donor has left a £1,000 thank you for firefighters.
One of the firefighters at Craven Arms Fire Station discovered the money in an envelope posted in the letterbox on Thursday with a note saying "thank you for all your help".
Malcolm Stevenson, communications officer for Shropshire Fire and Rescue said they had no idea where the donation had come from or what it was for.
He said: "Obviously we were very pleasantly surprised by the discovery but we would love the person to get in touch so we can say thank you in person."
Mr Stevenson said they also wanted to make sure that the person had not wrongly believed they have to pay for the fire service's help.
He said: "It is incredibly generous of this person, whoever it is, but there is a slight concern it could have been put there by someone who is vulnerable or confused and might think they have to pay for the help we give them so we would like to make sure that is not the case."
Mr Stevenson said that if they do not find out who has donated the money they will discuss what it could be used for, with an item that benefits the community likely to be considered, such as a defibrillator.
