Current Goal

My name is Dash the fire dog and I am from Golden Colorado. I am traveling with my favorite ball made by my owner and hope to visit as many fire stations around the world as possible. Any pictures of fire houses visited during my adventures would be appreciated.

About This Item

On duty before my trip

We're all familiar with the image of the "Dalmatian" on the fire engine. The dogs came into use because of their protective nature and loyalty. Dalmatians have shared the barns and the hunt courses with horses for centuries, so when fire-apparatus was horse-drawn, nearly every firehouse had its resident Dalmatian to help direct the horses, keep the horses company, and guard the firehouse. The horses are gone from fire stations today, but the Dalmatians aren't! Firehouse dogs nearly always were called "Sparky" so Sparky was the obvious name for NFPA's fire prevention symbol. Dalmatians were also used to protect the fire company's engine and equipment at a time when fire companies actually competed against each other at fire scenes, each trying to out-perform the others. Dalmatians were favoured probably because of their size, friendly nature, ability to train, and ability to care for themselves. Likewise urban and nearby departments gave away puppies as new litters were born thus creating an ongoing fire service tradition.
