Fisher-Price Rescue HeroesRescue Heroes is a line of toys from Fisher Price that was introduced in 1999. Rescue Heroes depicts various rescue personnel and their equipment. An animated television series has also been developed with the line of toys, spanning one season on CBS (1999-2000) as Rescue Heroes and two on Kid's WB (2001-2003) as Rescue Heroes: Global Response Team, totalling three seasons. Rescue Heroes has also aired on Teletoon in Canada (1999-present). There has also been one movie released in 2003, called Rescue Heroes: The Movie. The animated series strives to teach kids proper safety techniques and how to deal with issues, such as bullying. Some episodes are intended for a more mature audience. These episodes are evident, since they show things like how to put out grease fires and unplugging electrical equipment during a lightning storm. A young child would not be able to do either of these things, which shows why these episodes are intended for a more mature audience. At the end of almost every episode, there would be safety tips, some that are intended for a more mature audience (e.g. putting out a grease fire), and after the safety tips they would usually end the episode with the slogan, Think like a Rescue Hero, think safe.
