Story
In the Victorian era, firefighters were the unsung heroes of growing cities, often relying on horse-drawn wagons and bucket brigades to battle blazes. Dalmatians, known for their ability to calm horses and lead the way through crowded streets, became beloved symbols of firehouses. This figure honors the legacy of courage, ingenuity, and camaraderie that has long defined the fire service.

"No two Carolers are ever the same. Byers' Choice artisans create a unique character and personality in each figure by using a variety of techniques and materials. Each crafter leaves a little bit of herself in every figure she touches. As many as ten people will work on one Caroler. Consequently, it is almost impossible to find two Carolers that are exactly alike." -- Joyce Byer
