CORNWALL, Ontario – The City of Cornwall Fire Services has aquired a new tool to help save the lives of our furry friends.
Invisible Fence Gatineau has provided oxygen masks for all City of Cornwall Fire Service Pumper trucks.
“Our first priority in the case of fire is always to assist the occupants involved and ensure buildings are cleared. While doing our job though, we often have the opportunity to help pets,” said Firefighter Jeff McIntyre. “We recognize that pets are another important member of the family.”
The masks are reusable and come in a variety of sizes suitable for cats, ferrets, rabbits, birds and different breeds of dog.
“Before this donation, we used human oxygen masks on pets distressed by smoke. We have had success in saving pet lives in the past but with this donation, we will be better equipped to give our furry family members the proper oxygen they require,” said McIntyre.
