Fire Chief with FD Helmet Christmas Wooden Nutcracker 15 in by Wizardi F07AM9-8-N01842A

Salute the bravest on the block with the Fire Chief, a wooden Christmas nutcracker by Wizardi — a chief in a tall red helmet with a yellow "FD" shield and a yellow brim, black faux-fur hair and beard, and a red turnout coat with yellow and black reflective stripes. He carries a coiled white hose with a brass nozzle, with striped red trousers and black boots beside a red fire hydrant on a black base.

A little collector's folklore: firehouses have long been at the heart of town Christmas celebrations, and collectors say the fire chief is the one who flips the switch on the town tree every year.

Why this nutcracker: if you are shopping for a firefighter, a retiring chief or a fire department, he is a proud, meaningful keepsake. At 15 inches he makes a striking display on a mantel or office shelf.

In the box: one Fire Chief nutcracker in painted wood with faux-fur hair and beard, a hose and a hydrant, packed in a red gift box with a window. A decorative nutcracker, not intended for cracking nuts. Ready to display, no assembly needed.

Complete the fire crew with the firefighter with hose and the firefighter with Dalmatian (F07AM9-8-N01842B and C). Dust with a soft, dry brush and keep away from moisture and heat. A decoration, not a toy.

Size: 38 cm tall (15 in). Firefighter Christmas decor, and a thoughtful gift for fire chiefs, firefighters and their families.
