FIREFIGHTERS at Hove Fire Station received a surprise cake baked by a member of the public as a show of support.

Welephant, a firefighting mascot, is pictured holding the cake when it arrived last week.

Hove firefighter and chairman of East Sussex Fire Brigades Union, Simon Herbert, said: “Our campaign to save our fire engine continues to grow and this was a lovely way for a member of the public to show their support.”
