Long ago, firefighting equipment was pulled to the site of a blaze by horse-drawn carriages. Even though they're cute mascots today, Dalmatians once played a functional role in the early days before fire trucks had engines. The association between Dalmatians and fire trucks dates back well over a century. But why is that? It's not like dogs are particularly good at fighting fires, right? Why would Dalmatians become so closely associated with fire trucks? Today, Dalmatians seem as natural a part of a fire truck as the color red. What are we talking about? A Dalmatian, of course! There, sitting in the cab of the fire truck, is the black-and-white, spotted canine mascot you expected to see. Something seems to be missing, but then you spot it. Firefighters move to and fro, climbing the fire truck's ladder and pulling the fire hose into position to douse the blaze.
You ride a couple of blocks over so you can see the fire truck in the distance.
Within a few minutes, a large red fire truck rolls by on its way to put out a fire. You pull over to the side of the street and wait for the emergency vehicles to appear. Before hitting your homework, you're going to get some much-needed exercise by going for a nice ride with your friends.Īs you pedal around your neighborhood, your ears suddenly pick up the tell-tale sound of sirens in the distance. After a busy day at school, you jump off the school bus and head straight for your bicycle.
