East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service (ESFRS) crew members have painted safety messages onto stones and said they will be placing them around the town this weekend (May 30-31).

An ESFRS spokesperson said on Twitter, “We’ve been getting artistic in our time off! We’d love to see your #secretstones too - these ones, pictured, will be going out and about in Eastbourne this weekend so keep your eyes peeled!”
