Audie even put pawprints on my microphone! Isn't that so cool?

 

 

 

BlackKat Creations wrapped the SafetyMobile last August. Didn't they do a pawsome job?

Sparkles' Safety Spot: Episode 85

Hard to believe that today was our 85th Episode of Sparkles' Safety Spot! Wow, how time flies!

Today we shared how important it is to have the grown-ups in your house vacuum around the smoke alarms in your home! Smoke alarms can collect dust and dirt, and you want them to be clean so that they can do their job!

The Busiest Week EVER!

It was the busiest week EVER!!!

Well, maybe it wasn't the busiest week for us, but it was close! We had so much fun sharing fire safety all week!

First, we did an interview (video coming soon!) with "In the Dog House." (a radio station from Spain):

Then, we celebrated our human Dad's birthday! Happy Birthday, Dad!

We Skyped with a class of Fire and Life Safety Educator's in Colorado (video coming soon!).


The Keep Kids Fire Safe Foundation was selected as "Member of the Month" by the Clarksville-Johnson County Chamber of Commerce. We were so honored!
 

Our partners, First Alert, donated a safe to the Foundation so that will help us keep our computer files safe! It is waterproof and fireproof! Thank you, First Alert!

We made an appearance at the Community Family Fun Day in Alma. Here I am with my good friend, Rylie!

Whew, what a busy and wonderful week! Stay tuned for more videos coming soon!

Until next time, stay safe! And, remember, FIRE SAFETY ROCKS!

Sparkles' Safety Spot: Episode 84

During our 84th Episode of Sparkles' Safety Spot, we shared how important it is to make sure that nothing blocks the door!

I had fun making the video for this episode! I pretended to move my toys away from the door (it was just pretend, I always put my toys up so everyone can stay safe!)! It was big fun!

It's important to make sure that doorways aren't blocked in case of an emergency! You want to be sure to be able to get out quickly!

Hope you like it!

Molly the Fire Safety Dog Goes to the Fire Station

Every Monday night I go to the fire station for Monday night training with the firefighters. I had such a good time tonight!

First, I watched as the firefighters loaded equipment onto 101. 101 is a brush truck and is part of a new truck and part of an older fire truck.



Watching the firefighters add equipment to 101.

101 will be one of the first vehicles that goes out on a call.



I had to check out the side of 101. See the picture of the Dalmatian? That is a picture of Sparkles and was put on the older part of the fire truck many, many years ago!

 

 

Then, I helped Firefighter Dayna change the sign outside the fire station. People honked at me as they drove by. I smiled!

Time to change the sign!



I helped hold the letters for Firefighter Dayna. It was fun!


 

Ta da! New letters on the sign outside the station! Where we live, people have to call the Sheriff's office or Police Department before they burn anything outdoors. Fire can get away from someone so easily if they are burning outside. That is why we hope no one ever burns outside.



In the training room, I pretended that I was on the radio. "Stay safe, everyone!" Molly out!



My work was done! It was time to go home after a busy night at the fire station!

Before I left, I posed for a picture on one of my favorite fire trucks. This is 109. It is a pumper truck.


Until next time, stay safe! And, remember: Fire Safety Rocks!
