Everyone is getting in on the Pokemon Go craze. “So I've got a Weedle here, a single Pokemon,” said Grady Dunlap who found the digital character while using the Pokemon Go app and walking around Clark County Fire District 6’s Station 61.
The point of the game is to explore the real world and capture Pokemon.
“We've been taken over by the Pokemon craze and have discovered that we have a few of the little critters lurking around our fire stations,” said David Schmitke, Public Information Officer for Clark County Fire District 6.
One of the critters hanging around Station 61 is a Pokemon called Charmander.
“He's a cute lookin’ lizard kind of thing with fire coming out of his tail,” said Schmitke.
Fitting that it's at a fire station. But with the digital critters come Pokemon enthusiasts.
“At this station and some of the other stations we've noticed some people walking around you know that whole zombie thing that they're doing,” said Schmitke.
He said walking around not paying attention, or parking in front of a fire rig to catch a Pokemon could be dangerous. So on Wednesday, Schmitke decided to do something about it to help keep people safe.
“We're actually putting out signs for Pokemon parking to direct people where they can park,” said Schmitke.
