Firefighter Finn

Halloween is the most exciting night of the year-candy, costumes, and trick-or-treating with friends! But when Firefighter Finn discovers some safety hazards that could turn Halloween fun into Halloween trouble, he springs into action to teach children how to celebrate safely.

With his loyal Dalmatian Sparky and the cheerful red fire engine Blaze by his side, Finn guides Maplewood's trick-or-treaters through essential Halloween safety lessons:

• Costume Safety: Bright, visible costumes that don't obstruct vision
• Flashlight & Reflective Gear: Stay visible to cars and traffic
• Staying Together: Never trick-or-treat alone-always go with trusted adults or friends
• Stranger Danger Reminders: Know which houses are safe stops
• Traffic Safety: Look both ways, use crosswalks, stay in groups
• Pumpkin & Decoration Safety: Avoid tripping hazards and open flames
• Candy Safety: Check treats before eating, know what's safe to consume
• Planning & Communication: Tell a trusted adult where you're going

When a younger trick-or-treater gets separated from their group and finds themselves in a scary situation, Finn and Sparky work together to reunite them with their family while teaching everyone important safety lessons. The story celebrates Halloween excitement while empowering children to make smart, safe choices.

Firefighter Finn: Trick or Treat Trouble transforms Halloween safety from a lecture into an engaging adventure story. Perfect for ages 4-9, this book helps parents and teachers discuss Halloween safety in a fun, non-scary way while building children's confidence to speak up and ask for help.

Because Halloween should be full of treats-not trouble!
