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.
Sparky is interchangeable with several other body styles, allowing you to combine your education program with other agencies in your area. Call our service department to see which robots fit on Sparky's frame and electronics, making conversion possible. (Only robots purchased after 2005 are interchangeable)
