'Working Smoke Allamas' wow the crowds at Eastbourne’s Sunshine Carnival Parade

The famous mischievous puppet called Emu has a new rival in town in the form of East Sussex Fire & Rescue Service’s very own 'Working Smoke Allamas'.

Meet ESFRS’s newest recruits - the loveable “working smoke allamas” who enjoyed their first shift out-and-about at Eastbourne’s Sunshine Carnival Parade.

However, unlike Emu these enchanting allamas don’t attack members of the public and have nothing but love and advice to give to the public.

Community Safety Advisor Kate Graham not only came up with the idea but designed and created the two furry characters. Their new home will be Eastbourne Community Fire Station with the specific role of spreading the word about the all-important message that ‘working smoke alarms save lives’.
