Sparky Meets E.D.I.T.H.

In 1978, the National Fire Protection Association introduced Sparky Meets E.D.I.T.H., a single-issue educational comic starring their iconic fire-safety mascot, Sparky the Fire Dog. This pamphlet introduces young readers to E.D.I.T.H. (Exit Drills In The Home), a simple, life-saving concept for planning and practicing home fire escape routes. While it may be a brief publication, it represents the NFPA’s enduring commitment to using sequential art as a tool for public safety education, making it a notable piece of both comics and fire-prevention history.
