Scan a Dalmatian.
Learn to stay safe.
Meet ResQ‑R (say it “rescuer”) — a friendly firefighter Dalmatian whose spots hide a QR code. The badge goes right on the safety gear you already walk past every day. Scan the dog’s spots and unlock short, local, age‑appropriate safety lessons about whatever you’re standing next to.
The idea
Safety education that never sleeps.
When budgets for fire‑prevention and safety education get cut, fire‑loss numbers climb back toward levels not seen since before those programs began. ResQ‑R is EdQuest’s answer: a way for communities to keep learning — and to avoid tragedy — without depending on year‑to‑year funding. Each badge turns an ordinary piece of safety equipment into a tiny, always‑on teacher.
02
Scan it
Point your phone at ResQ‑R’s spots. No app, no account — it just works.
03
Learn
Get a short lesson tailored to that place and that piece of gear.
Two ways to use it
General know-how, or a specific object.
General information
Signage‑style education tied to a hazard: how to use a fire extinguisher, the right way to make sure a cooking fire is fully out, what to do when an alarm sounds. Perfect for public parks, trailheads, kitchens, and community spaces.
A specific object
Tie a badge to one physical item — this fire extinguisher, this AED. The scan can carry its datasheet, manufacturer details, and service or expiration dates, so the same sticker that teaches can later help track the gear it’s on.
Look for ResQ‑R on fire extinguishers · AEDs · alarm pull stations · emergency exits · storm shelters · evacuation maps · park grills · and more
Why it works
Good for families, responders, insurers, and the nation.
Families & kids
Rewarding, five‑star “boredom‑buster” learning, in your chosen language, with local prizes that keep families coming back.
First responders
An always‑on teacher of best‑practice safety. Communities that handle small emergencies put responders at less risk.
Insurers
Branded continuing education redeemable for premium discounts, delivering the right lesson before it’s needed.
The nation
A population better prepared from Pre‑K to senior, with stronger awareness of everyday environments — and less loss.
