Hopefully you've bumped into everything I have on my site. There are invitations, printable puzzles (you can use these as placemats at the party and the children can take them home as a treat) http://www.dltk-kids.com/crafts/miscellaneous/fireweek.html
Here are some additional ideas you might like
http://www.kidsdomain.com/holiday/birthday/th/dog.html has a dog theme party section. Use their dalmation ideas for your party.

Water Brigade Game: Divide your partygoers into two teams, and line them up next to each other. Give the first person in each line a small bucket or cup full of water. About thirty feet away, place an empty cup or bucket for each team. When you say "GO!," the first person runs down to the empty bucket, pours the water from his or her container into the bucket, and races back to their team with their empty container. The next teammate must then race down to the full bucket and pour the water from the bucket into his or her empty container, and then return it to the next person in line. Your guests will have fun trying to keep as much water as they can in their buckets. The game ends when each team member has run down and back once
I always find take home treats (especially for the little ones) tough to come up with. Maybe someone else will post an idea or two. Darren (my husband) thought matchbox firetrucks but I'm not sure how much those cost.
