Decorate the house as if it's on fire. Using the red, yellow and orange tissue, cut out flames and tape them to the windows so the kids can see them as they enter the front of the house. Hang the red, yellow and orange streamers from the top of doorways to make them feel like they're walking through the fire.

Give each kid a plastic firefighter hat to wear during the party. For an activity, give each child a fire-truck picture to color and then hang them on the wall, like in a garage.

Decorate the table as a Dalmation. Using a white plastic tablecloth, draw big black dots on it like spots on a dog. Use alternating black and white plates, cups, utensils and napkins to further the theme.

For a fun twist on a classic game, play pin the fire hose on the fire truck. Draw a fire truck on a piece of poster board, leaving off the water hose. Blindfold each child, spin her in a circle, and try to get her to pin the hose in the right place.

Tips & Warnings
If you live near a fire station, call ahead and see if the station allows tours. The kids would get a kick out of being at a real fire station and will probably get a lesson in fire safety at the same time.
No reason to use an actual fire at a firefighter party. There is no reason to tempt fate.
