I received a sample for this review/feature. Opinions expressed are my own.
My son thinks fire trucks are the coolest. From the big ladders to the powerful pumpers, he’s completely enamored with fire trucks and the men and women who fight fires. He was beyond excited when his favorite show Chuggington introduced their newest character, Fire Chugger Asher in the DVD out today, “Fire Patrol Rescue“.
In “Fire Patrol Rescue” it’s up to the Chuggers to put their skills to the test and save the day in Chuggington. Wilson sets out on fire patrol duty with his new friend Asher and learns how to use a fire hose; a friendly contest is held between Chug Patrol and Speed Fleet; Hodge finds himself in a high-rise jam and all the Chuggers practice emergency drills at the roundhouse! In these six action-packed episodes, Wilson, Asher, Brewster and their friends, along with young trainees at home, learn age-appropriate fire safety lessons and discover the importance of community service and working together.

In honor of ?Chuggington Fire Patrol Rescue Day,? and to help keep your family and young trainees safe all year-round, here are some important tips from Firechugger Asher and the National Fire Protection Association:
? Asher says, ?Plan ahead!?
Create a home escape plan so every member of your family knows what to do and where to go if there’s a fire. Designate a meeting spot, such as a tree or mailbox, that’s a safe distance from the home. And practice your home fire drill both at night and during the day.
? Asher says, ?Stop a fire before it starts!?
Keep matches and lighters out of sight and out of reach from children. Store them up high, preferably in a locked cabinet or drawer. It’s also important to teach kids that lighters and matches are tools for adults only and that they should tell a grown-up if they see these items lying around.
? Asher says, ?Cool it in the kitchen!?
Always keep an eye on the stove while you?re cooking, and use a timer as a reminder that the stove or oven is on. Create a ?kid-free zone? around the stove as well as areas where hot food and drinks are prepared. And make sure to keep anything that can catch fire, including oven mitts and towels, away from hot appliances!
? Asher says, ?Sound the alarm! ?
Smoke detectors are a key part of a home fire escape plan. Make sure to install smoke detectors on every floor of the home, especially inside and outside bedrooms. Don?t forget to test all smoke alarms at least once a month!
? Asher says, ?Stay low and stay out! ?
If, during a fire, you have to escape through smoke, get low, go under the smoke and close the doors behind you as you leave each room. It’s crucial to remind children that, once outside, they should never go back inside for anything, including pets or toys. It’s best to wait to call the fire department until you get outside and are a safe distance away from the fire.
Asher says, ?Follow these blazin? safety tips and you?ll be in control and ready to roll if there’s ever a fire.?

My son loved every episode, but his favorite was Blazin’ Wilson where you first get to meet Asher. He was so excited to see that he had his very own TOMY Asher train that came with the DVD. “Fire Rescue Patrol” is out just in time to fill Easter baskets everywhere and is available today on DVD.
