Along with Canine Lt. Casey, we offer a fun, engaging option for children to learn about fire safety. Casey is a Dalmatian (the ultimate fire dog!) who loves to show off skills like stop, drop and roll and how to crawl low under smoke! He is a clever boy that can help kids learn skills like feeling for heat in a door before opening it and how to call 911. Kids love to learn along side Casey in a fun and memorable way that helps to equip them with the knowledge required in a time of emergency.
