Buckets' Safety Brigade

Fire Clowns

Outreach

Established in 2001, the Grapevine Fire Department's public safety education team, “Buckets' Safety Brigade”  has performed their safety shows in front of thousands of children. The troupe sends their message of "Fighting Fire through Education" in a variety of humorous methods, primarily at area schools, festivals, churches, and various social events. They have even taken their show to Southern Methodist University to provide fire safety messages to incoming freshmen. Their primary focus remains the youth of the community.

Educational Value

It has been proven that children retain more information if they are entertained in the process. The troupe has been performing 30 minute or less Life and Fire Safety  shows. In the early years  simple props cut out of foam were used to educate children about "Call 911," "Smoke Detector Safety," "Stop, Drop, and Roll," as well as many more safety tips. 

Today, the troupe provides elaborate, entertaining shows which include music, dance, humor and even puppets.  The dedicated troupe passionately trains, practices, and strives to hone their craft with one goal in mind, "Educate children about the dangers that surround them in everyday life."
