Riley's mother, Nicole Duggan, filmed him as he received the package, opening up the boxes one by one. 

Young Riley's eyes were wide as he was gifted safety signs, fire alarms, exit signs and high visibility boxes. 

Riley was diagnosed with autism when he was two, and despite him being non-verbal and having sensory issues, Nicole said Riley is the 'happiest little boy in the world.' 

She added that Riley also received a gift voucher to allow him to pick a Christmas present, too.

'The lovely Sarah from Illumino Ignis has been onto me about Riley's love for all things fire and safety and asked could they send Riley a gift.

'Oh my God what he received today was nothing short of amazing. Exit signs, light up exit signs, fire alarms, smoke alarms, T-shirts, a gift voucher for him to get a new toy for Christmas, I could go on.

'This was all done out of the goodness of their hearts. And the smile they put on Riley's face today has made each and everyone of us happy.

'He spent the whole day playing with his new alarms, showing us how they work, what the signs are for and rocking his new t-shirt.
