CRAWBROOK, England — Everyone wishes for what they want most on their birthday, although it may not always come true. However, one British woman celebrating her 105th birthday had her wish granted when she asked for “hunky” firefighters to climb through her window.
Ivene “Ivy” Smailes had a pleasant surprise Aug. 18, when Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service firefighters climbed through her window to deliver her birthday cake and celebrated with her.
“It was out of this world,” Smailes told TODAY.
Debra Carter, a staff member at Smailes’ care home, reached out to the department when she caught word of Smailes’ wish.
“They couldn’t believe that someone of 105 would ask for this,” Carter said. “They were all really good about it, and all happy to help and meet her.”
