The Sparky robot is an especially exciting tool for teaching fire and safety awareness because it is so interactive. Audiences will be delighted when Sparky’s eyes look around, wink and blink, his emergency lights and siren are activated, and he drives his fire truck around the room, carrying on conversations and playing music - all by remote control. Sparky the Fire Dog is the best-know figure in fire prevention today. A trademark character of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Sparky is at the center of the NFPA’s Risk Watch® and Learn Not to Burn® programs, two of the most comprehensive safety programs in existence. *The name & Figure of Sparky® & Sparky the Fire Dog® are trademarks of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).
