National Fire Pup Day- October 1st
Why it Should be A National Holiday: Austin Kobza
Fire Pups, otherwise known as Dalmations, play a huge role in firefighters history. Here are some resons how:
- The dogs kept rats away from the fire houses.
- The dogs ran with the horses through the streets, keeping them calm as they pulled the fire wagon and raced towards the fire.
- At the scene of the fire, the dogs protected the horses and equipment from any bystander damage.
- The dogs kept back the crowds, because tyhe crowd recongnized the spots and made the connection that they were with the firefighters.

This day should be a holiday because dalmations played a huge part in firefighter history. All this new equipment is taking away there uses. If this day was a national holiday, people would take more thought about dalmations, and it would be a great way to teach people about fire saftey.
