Why do firemen like dalmatians?

Dalmatians are great dogs that are very loyal. The Fire department used them along time ago to act as a siren when the water pumpers where heading to a call. The Dalmatian us to go out in the street and bark and warn people of a fire. Since then the Dalmatian has been used or welcomed by many fire houses as the dog of choice, though rarely ever used on the job anymore.
