The alpacas were part of the St John’s CofE Primary School summer fair – which firefighters were also attending on Saturday (June 10).
Children were able to meet the firefighters and find out more about what is carried on the fire engines; whilst there the crew were asked to help cool a group of fluffy alpacas who had begun to overheat in the basking sun.

Following on from that the crew was called to tackle a blaze in woodland near to the Betty Kenny Tree in Alderwasley. After a bit of walking, firefighters were able to put out the fire without extensive damage being sustained to the surrounding areas.
