Overseas request

This is from a fire enthusiast in France:

 Hello

Let me introduce myself : I’m french, 28 years old, and passionate about the fire service

As a handicapped person in a rolling-chair, I can’t make it as my job.

But I do collect everything that has to do with emergencies.

My request is as follows:

Would your readers have any sort of fire service materials in order to increase my collection?

Hoping in your help, and expecting an answer from you,

Respectfully yours,

Julien Frémont
