We’ve all seen it in the movies before and maybe even real life.
You’re leaving the firehouse, step outside, look down and there’s a baby left at the doorstep. It doesn’t happen all the time, but when it does it stops you in your tracks. And it’s not just babies that are left at the doorstep of a firehouse.
We asked our fans on Facebook to tell us about the strangest things that have been dropped off at their fire station. Here are some of their responses.
