On-call Firefighters from Armagh were delighted to welcome Armagh All-Ireland winning footballer Niall Grimley to Armagh Fire Station earlier this week.
The Sam Maguire also made a special guest appearance.
Niall is a member of The Road Ahead Support Group that is set up to support those who have been affected in any way by road traffic collisions in Northern Ireland.
Niall lost his brother Patrick in a road traffic collision last November. Patrick’s wife Ciera and their friend, Ciara McElvanna also passed away as a result.
Ciara’s husband, Kevin, also attended the station. He too was an All-Ireland winner with Armagh in 2002.
The on-call Firefighters presented Niall with a personal donation to the support group.
On-Call Watch Commander Kevin McAuley said: “It has been a very special evening for us as a group. It’s really important that we continue to support and educate people on the importance of road safety.
“Tragically people in this room have lost family members in road traffic collisions and this was one of our ways that we would like to show support to the families and local community.”
NIFRS would like to thank the Grimley and McElvanna families for attending the event.
