Junior Fire Marshal
Pluggie is a dedicated servant to the Fire Prevention
Bureau, serving to spread his fire safety message to
kids of all ages through song, dance, flashing lights
and speech. Children love to hear his message as they
dialogue with Pluggie and quickly become friends.
Pluggie and his firefighter friend teach fire safety to children. He talks about STOP, DROP AND ROLL, What is a Smoke Detector, Exit Drills In the Home, When to dial 9-1-1 and Matches Are Tools Not Toys.
You can often find Pluggie at a local pre-school or
elementary schools, most fire prevention events and during
Fire Prevention Week you can usually find him hanging
around at the local mall. Often when Pluggie visits the
mall, he takes along his life-long pal,
Sparky the Firehouse Dog.
If you're planning a special Fire Safety Event and would like to invite Pluggie to attend, you may call the Fire Prevention Office at (515) 283-4240.
