Red E. Fox
The Red E. Fox walk around costume makes it possible to bring the 9-1-1 mascot to life for children of all ages! Why not "invite" him to your next community event? He's sure to be a hit.

The costume, with all accessories including holster phone and visor "shades," fits any individual of average build between 5'7" and 6' tall. Made of orange and white washable fur, the costume makes a big impression! Call the Denco Area 9-1-1 District offices to check Red E. out! There is no charge for borrowing the costume, but a few guidelines need to be followed. A short, nine minute instructional video is available to show how to look and act the part of Red. E. Fox, and how to take care of the costume. Good taste, common sense, and concern for the character are expected.

The costume, as with any walk around character, is hot and confining, so be prepared! Have a helper walk with Red E. and an area where the person in the costume can take frequent breaks.

Since the costume should only be used to reinforce positive messages about the proper way to use 9-1-1 to save lives and property, Red E. may not appear at commercial occasions without a specific public safety education purpose and can never be used to endorse a commercial product or candidate for public office.


Cell Phone Sally

Cell Phone Sally is helping Texans become more cell-phone savvy.

Developed by the Public Educators of Texas and the Texas Commission on State Emergency Communications, the character is part of an education campaign to help folks understand that making a 9-1-1 call with a cell phone is different than using a landline phone. Cell Phone Sally's message will encourage people to verify their cellular phone number, and give exact location information including an address, cross streets and/or landmarks when making a cellular 9-1-1 call, in order to ensure that emergency response arrives to help.
