Alex was pleased to support the Cheltenham East Fire Station open day with his family.
The open day - which was attended by hundreds of residents - included demonstrations by firefighters, fire safety information and tours of the equipment firefighters use to keep people in Cheltenham safe.
Writing on Facebook, Alex said:
"Thank you Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service for an amazing open day in Cheltenham today. Excited children (and one or two adults ...) everywhere!"
