Clowns on Fire

Clowns on FireDenton Clowns on Fire was originated in 1998. Several City of Denton firefighters and Public Education Officer saw the need and had the desire to educate children in the community about fire and life safety. The Clowns on Fire group has grown from 2 firefighters to more than 6 members.

The members travel to elementary schools in and around Denton to teach them important messages about emergencies and safety using familiar characters or firefighting clowns! The skits created last approximately 30 minutes for a quick and fun learning experience. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to make a successful skit each year. These tasks include writing a script for each member to participate, creating a background and scene to match the theme, producing sound for the bits and a lot of practice.
