  • The Foggy Rescue - Tales from Bark Mountain
    Feb 1 2026

    When a thick blanket of fog rolls over Bark Mountain, a peaceful afternoon turns urgent. A family heading home becomes lost and trapped, their voices swallowed by the mist and their fear growing with every passing minute.

    At the Bark Mountain Fire Hall, the call comes in—and the crew springs into action. Fire Chief Steve leads with calm confidence as Forrest, Red, Tom, Dazzle, Izzy, and Woz prepare their trucks and trust their training. But in conditions like these, they’ll need something more than lights and sirens.

    That’s when Goose the Fire Dog steps forward. With his nose to the ground and his tail wagging with purpose, Goose uses his special tracking skills to guide the team through the fog.

    Together, the crew shows that when things feel confusing or scary, teamwork, courage, and trusting one another can always help lead the way home.

  • Traveling Joe - Tales From Bark Mountain
    Jan 25 2026

    In this heartwarming episode of Tales from Bark Mountain, the Bark Mountain fire crew is called to help someone injured along a quiet winter road. What they find is Traveling Joe—a kind, tired man passing through town, hoping to make his way home to his family.

    As Fire Chief Steve, Goose the Fire Dog, and the firefighters care for Joe, they learn he has no money for food and nowhere to stay. With compassion and teamwork, and the help of Constable Moose, the crew comes together to offer more than first aid. They offer warmth, dignity, and hope—sharing what they have and helping Joe make his way home safely.

    Traveling Joe gently teaches young listeners that kindness doesn’t have to be big to matter. Sometimes it’s a meal, a smile, and that moment of care that changes everything.

  • Black Ice - Tales From Bark Mountain
    Jan 19 2026

    On a cold day on Bark Mountain, the fire bell rings and the crew races to help a family in need. Firefighter Izzy is driving the rescue truck when the road curves toward the old bridge — and suddenly, the tires hit black ice.

    The truck begins to slide, but instead of panicking, Izzy remembers her training.

    She takes a deep breath. She keeps her hands steady. She thinks back to her training, hours of diving on slippery roads. Slowly, carefully, she guides the truck back under control. Because in Bark Mountain, training isn’t just something you practice — it’s something that helps you when things feel scary.

    On the other side of the bridge, two kids need help after a car crash. Thanks to calm thinking, teamwork, and trusting what they’ve learned, the firefighters arrive safely and work together to bring everyone to safety.

    This episode teaches young listeners that challenges can feel slippery and surprising — just like black ice. But when we pause, breathe, and remember what we’ve practiced, we can find our balance again.

    In Bark Mountain, heroes aren’t fearless. They’re prepared!

    And when the road gets tough, their training shows them the way.

  • The Brave Ones - Tales From Bark Mountain
    Jan 4 2026

    The Brave Ones is a gentle and powerful episode of the Tales of Bark Mountain podcast that helps children understand an important truth: feeling scared or anxious doesn’t mean you’re weak—it means you’re human.

    In this heartfelt story, Firefighters Red and Forrest quietly discuss their childhood feelings as they are checking the trucks in the Bark Mountain Fire Hall as snow drifts past the windows and Goose the Fire Dog chases snow flakes outside. In the calm, they reflect not as firefighters, but as the kids they once were. Red shares what it felt like to grow up with a worried heart—tight stomach, racing thoughts, and fears he didn’t yet have words for. Forrest remembers being afraid to speak up, ask for help, or admit he was scared at all.

    Together, they talk about how fear and anxiety followed them into adulthood and even into the fire service. They explain that bravery isn’t the absence of fear—it’s taking small steps forward, asking for support, and learning you’re not alone. When Goose gently rests his head on Red’s boot, listeners are reminded that comfort often comes from simply being there.

    The Brave One reassures kids and caregivers alike: heroes feel fear too—and that’s how real courage begins.

    Side by side with Chief Steve, Goose the Fire Dog, and the rest of the team, Ken responds with the calm courage he’s shown for years. As the crew works together on one final call, something powerful becomes clear: leadership doesn’t end when a mentor steps away.

    Through teamwork, trust, and heart, Ken passes more than a helmet—he passes belief, confidence, and the courage to lead. This touching episode reminds young listeners that change is part of every journey, and that the lessons we learn from those who guide us continue long after they’ve moved on.

  • Grandma Jones
    Dec 21 2025

    Grandma Jones was the heart of Bark Mountain—the woman who knitted socks for chilly toes, warm slippers for tired feet, and even Goose’s famous winter scarf. But on one quiet, difficult night, she felt weaker than she ever had before. Her breath was tight, her body heavy, and for the first time in a long while, she wondered if her strength had slipped away.

    But then Izzy and Ken arrived—not with sirens or shouting, but with gentleness, blankets, and calm voices that wrapped around her like warm light. They sat with her, breathed with her, and reminded her she didn’t have to be strong all by herself.

    And in their kindness, something beautiful happened:

    Grandma Jones felt her strength returning—softly, slowly—lifted by the spirits of two people who cared.

    Sometimes your strength returns the moment someone stands beside you.

  • Sparklefest
    Dec 14 2025

    Every December, just as the first snowflakes drift over the peaks of Bark Mountain, the town begins preparing for its most magical tradition of all—Sparklefest, the festival where everyone belongs. Long before the lanterns are lit and the bonfire roars to life, you can feel it in the air: a gentle shimmer of excitement, kindness, and togetherness.

    Streets in town fill with neighbors stringing twinkling lights leading to the fairgrounds. Kids practice their songs for the Lantern choir. Fire hall bakers rush warm trays of deserts treats, ready for the big night. And right in the heart of it all, Goose the Fire Dog trots proudly alongside Fire Chief Steve, checking on every booth, every friend, every smile.

    Sparklefest isn’t just about the glow of lanterns or the sparkle of snow—it’s about the feeling that no matter who you are, or what kind of year you’ve had, you have a place here. A place to laugh, to be seen, to be celebrated.

    Because on Bark Mountain, belonging isn’t something you earn.

    It’s something you’re given—freely, joyfully, and forever.
