SPARKY TURNS 75 🐾 | Happy birthday Sparky! Today, Port Colborne Fire & Emergency Services is celebrating Sparky the Fire Dog's 75 years of fire safety education. Since 1951, Sparky has been the official mascot of the National Fire Protection Association, sharing life-saving fire safety messages across North America.

75 years strong… that’s 575 in dog years. 🔥🐶

Fire safety has changed over the years, but the basics still save lives. Here are some key reminders Sparky continues to share:
• Install working smoke alarms on every level of your home and in all sleeping areas
• When the alarm sounds — get out and stay out
• Create and practice a home fire escape plan
• Keep hot items out of reach to prevent burns
• Stay safe with lithium-ion batteries — use proper chargers and avoid damaged ones

🔥 Fire safety starts with you.
