Doreen Ferguson got a big surprise on her 102nd birthday last Friday.

A group of Delta firefighters dropped by the Waterford seniors' residence in Tsawwassen to join in on the singing of Happy Birthday to help Ferguson celebrate the occasion.

"I'm totally overwhelmed," said Ferguson, who added the visit from the firefighters came as a complete surprise.

"I appreciative the fact the firefighters came in. They were all so handsome and tall, I wished they'd stayed longer," she said.

Asked whether she had any secret to her longevity, Ferguson replied that when her great grandkids ask about how she's been able to live for so long, she said it's because she eats her broccoli.

"So they're all eating their broccoli like crazy," she laughed.
