The Return of the Fire Engineer
A new adventure for the Fire Engineer begins in Issue 2 of the Fire Engineers Journal. Readers of issue 1 will no doubt remember that one of the main characters in the series (Lisa) is an origami enthusiast. In issue 2 Lisa is invited to take part in an origami exhibition, but all is not what it seems. This issue also features diagrams for a model of the Fire Engineer himself.
Fans of the series can now now make their own combustible version of the Fire Engineer!
