Who Is The New Fire Prevention Mascot For Northern California?

California has adopted its own fire safety mascot, Captain Cal, alongside Smokey Bear, the nation’s mascot for fire prevention. Captain Cal, a mountain lion, was unveiled to the public in June 2019, after five years of development by Cal Fire and former Disney artist Toby Wilson. The mascot, based on a mountain lion, is a bipedal mountain lion with a friendly smile who loves giving high-fives with his impressive paws.

Smokey Bear, the U.S. Forest Service’s black bear, has given stern public service announcements on preventing forest fires since the 1940s. Cal Fire hopes to repeat this success with Captain Cal, which was unveiled earlier this week. Sparky the Fire Dog, the official mascot for the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), is a Dalmatian on a mission to help educate kids and their parents on fire prevention and public safety.

Smokey Bear has become a familiar symbol of forest-fire prevention, appearing on posters and other advertisements as part of campaigns sponsored by the U.S. Forest Service and state agencies. A new Smokey-esque character called Burnie the Bobcat will make her debut on a billboard between Sacramento and Davis shortly.

The U.S. Forest Service maintains that Smokey’s official name is “Smokey Bear”, but the USDA believes that Smokey was crucial in playing a role in wildfire prevention and forest conservation.

Captain Cal grew up in the foothills of California, living in a community of other animals. He is now a part of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) and the United States Forest Service’s mascots.
