🐾 Interested in Being Sparky the Fire Dog? 🚒

Oneonta Fire & Rescue Service is looking for individuals interested in volunteering to portray Sparky the Fire Dog® at community events, school programs, fire prevention activities, and other special events.

We’re looking for dependable, energetic people who enjoy working with children and representing our department in the community.

Interested individuals will become part of a volunteer auxiliary program under Oneonta Fire & Rescue Service. This is an unpaid volunteer position, but if you’re looking for a unique way to serve your community and be involved with the fire department without becoming a firefighter, this could be it!

If you’re interested in becoming one of our Sparky volunteers, please email me at [email protected] for more information and an application.

A few expectations for our Sparky volunteers:

* Must be dependable and professional
* Sparky does not speak while in character
* Must remain in character while in public
* Must be comfortable interacting with children and families
* Must follow the direction of Sparky’s handler
* Must represent Oneonta Fire & Rescue Service in a positive, family-friendly manner
* Must take care of and respect the Sparky costume
* Must be able to work in a hot environment (mascot costume).

Help us bring Sparky to life and spread the fire-safety message throughout our community!
