POOLE and Hamworthy firefighters will be chaperoning Father Christmas through the community later this month, delivering fire safety advice as part of their annual Santa's Fire Sleigh.
They will also be collecting for the Fire Fighters Charity and Forest Holme Hospice.
The crew will start on Monday, December 17, at 5.30pm on the Waterloo Estate.
At 7.30pm they will move on to Hamworthy, finishing there around 9pm.
Poole's on-call watch manager Ian Crabb said: "Previous year's events were a great success and we are all really looking forward to escorting Santa through our local neighbourhood again.
"It gives us a great opportunity to engage with our community, spread some festive cheer, raise some money and deliver our fire safety messages."
Santa will be supported by the two fire service mascots, Deetector and Welliphant.
