Meet Ember the Elf, Champaign’s Newest Firefighter

The Elf on a Shelf craze has taken up residence in the Champaign Fire Department.

Ember the Elf, the CFD’s newest employee, made his debut last week on the department’s Twitter feed and Facebook page. CFD picked the name after the community submitted many suggestions.

Ember’s goal: To help the community learn safety and fire prevention tips during the holiday season.

The Twitter and Facebook feeds contain pictures of Ember hanging from doorknobs and other accessories along with important seasonal tips.
