There's a new kind of hero bounding into the heart of the Cleveland Fire, not with a hose or ladder, but with a wagging tail and an eagerness to lift spirits. "WHO LET THE DOGS IN?" exclaimed a recent Facebook post from the Cleveland Fire, introducing Firepup, the department's newest, four-legged member.

Firepup is set to make a special appearance at the Ice Cream Social slated from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. tomorrow at Fire Station 4, located at 3136 Lorain Ave next to St. Ignatius High School, where visitors can enjoy free hot DOGS hamburgers, and Honey Hut Ice Cream, the event promises an array of activities including the chance to interact with adoptable dogs from City Dogs Cleveland, an organization devoted to finding homes for canines.

The social is not just about introducing Firepup, but also about community engagement and adoption awareness. In their announcement, Cleveland Fire highlighted the dual purpose of the event, "There will also be adoptable DOGS from City Dogs Cleveland and free hot DOGS, hamburgers, and delicious Honey Hut Ice Cream," reaching out to the community for a shared experience of fun, food, and potentially finding new homes for dogs in need.

Bringing together the love for food, the companionship of dogs, and the warmth of the local community, Cleveland Fire is setting up what they describe as a "DOGGONE good time," encouraging people to "Round up a pack of pals and come see us at Station 4 tomorrow," this confluence of activities reflects their ongoing commitment to public relation and community service, further cementing the bond between the city's fire department and its residents.
