Bucket's
Safety Brigade
(Est. 2001)
The fire departments public safety education team (a.k.a. Bucket's 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. The troupe presents their educational shows at area Schools, Festivals, Churches, and various social events. The troupe has even taken their show to Southern Methodist University to provide fire safety messages to incoming freshman. Though the target group still remains the youth of the community. The founder of the troupe, Firefighter/Paramedic Harold Watkins (a.k.a. Bucket's) has been performing his Life And Fire Safety shows since 1998. When simple props cut out of foam were used to educate children about "Call 911", "Smoke detector Safety", "Stop, Drop, and Roll", and many more safety tips. The troupe now provides 30 minute elaborate and entertaining shows which include song and dance. With one goal in mind; "Educate children about the dangers that surround them in everyday life". It has been proven that children retain more information if they are entertained in the process. The current troupe now consists of Buckets', Firefighter/EMT Morris Leondar (Steamer), Firefighter/Paramedic Mike Dobyns (Scorch), Firefighter/Paramedic Josh Santiago (Blitz), and Captain Mike Thompson (Sound Tech.). If you would like more information about the troupe you can contact Captain Mike Thompson at (817)410-8100, or by email at mthompson@grapevinetexas.gov
