A burning desire to be a clown


The Keller Fire Brigade (aka "fire clowns") performed for students across Texas today via streaming Web video. October is Fire Prevention Month, but it's always a good time to learn about preventing fires and knowing what to do in case one breaks out in the house. Above, the clowns wave to the camera (and students).


One of the guy's duties was to magically appear inside the computer screen from time to time.


This is the number of the day: 9-1-1.


In case of smoke, stay low to the ground where the air is still good!


This is an attempt at an "artsy" shot.



Here's what the clowns were interacting with. It made their job difficult compared to the instant reactions they get when performing in front of a live children-filled audience.


One of the video feeds from a school was upside down, so they figured they'd accommodate the ceiling-flipped students.

All in all a fun show. All four are full-time firefighter/paramedics with Keller Fire-Rescue. They aren't afraid to get silly in the name of fire education!
