Why are dalmatians used in the fire department?
Because when fire trucks were actually wagons they would run in front of the wagon in the town to warn the people to get out of the way of the wagon, so they were kind of like the sirens.
Why does the firetruck always have a Dalmatian dog riding on it when they go out after a fire?
Dalmatians ride in fire trucks because of what they were used for hundreds of years ago. When carriages were pulled by horses, dalmatians ran alongside them to keep the horses calm because they were known to have this special capability and they had much endurance. Also, they kept the horses safe from wandering dogs. Stagecoaches were used by the fire department. Dalmatians went with the horses to keep them calm when they were at the site of the fire and to guard the stagecoach against thieves. When stagecoaches were replaced by fire trucks, the Dalmatian continued to accompany the firefighters because by then they had already become the mascot. There are instances where a Dalmatian was known to have saved some trapped people from a fire, so they can still be very useful. Okay, thanks! -I thought it was because they were always first to find the hydrants!
