TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Most people would picture a Dalmatian dog as the typical fire department mascot, but Nicol Volunteer Fire Department’s mascot is a Dalmatian who is more likely to cluck than bark.
“She’s a cutie,” said Gaston Wilson, Nicol VFD’s chief, when describing the department’s as-yet-unnamed 1-month-old Dalmatian chicken.
The speckled black and white bird is the grand-chicken of Allan Jr., the Nicol VFD’s original mascot. He was named after the department’s first fire chief, Steven Allan Sullivan, who died in 2008. She’s the third generation in her fowl family to proudly carry on the Nicol VFD mascot tradition.
