Hi boys and girls! Welcome to Sparkles’ Kids Zone on Firelife.com!

Do you like fire truck parades? The fire safety dogs went the 9th Annual Johnson County Fire Safety Awareness Parade in Clarksville, Arkansas. Fire departments and other emergency vehicles participated in this annual event down Main Street. It was soooo much fun!

Johnson County RFD #1 Fire Corps members, students from the University of the Ozarks Phi Beta Lambda organization, carried their smoke alarm props, helping share that smoke alarms save lives!

Fire trucks from RFD #1 led the parade. This is called a “Tanker” truck. This truck helps carry water to fires in rural areas.

Lots of fire trucks, including this one from the Knoxville (TN) Fire Department, participated in the parade.

Here’s a video of the parade! Hope you like it!

After the parade, Tango went to the Kidsfest Safety Fair. He had so much fun! There were all sorts of fire trucks there for boys and girls to look and inside and outside the Marvin Vinson Center, there were all sorts of organizations sharing safety!

Tango with his new friends, Kelly and her mom, Karlye, from Johnson County RFD #1 Fire Corps.

Tango visited the Clarksville (AR) Fire Department booth. He even got a special treat Firefighter Rick Dailey and
Firefighter Jim Looney! Lucky dog!

Tango enjoyed watching his friend, Finnagus Sage, from the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office.

Tango watched the firefighters from his department, Johnson County RFD #1, take boys and girls through the fire safety house. The boys and girls learned a lot of important fire safety messages!

This is a mighty tall Sheriff’s Deputy!

Tango loved getting petted by hundreds of boys and girls at the Kidsfest Safety Fair!

The fire safety dogs love Skyping with schools! Wanted to share this picture of a fire safety presentation that the fire safety dogs did with a school in Oklahoma City. It was so much fun! In this picture, Tango was napping on the job. LOL.

Tango was really excited to go to the Safe Treat event at the Marvin Vinson Center in Clarksville, Arkansas. The Clarksville Police Department held this event for the very first time to help keep kids safe on Halloween and Tango gave away over 1,000 trading cards. High Paw!
