FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Pets In Fire Program
Pets belong in your fire safety program. Install smoke detectors and plan your family’s
(including your pets) safe evacuation in advance. Remember your pets’ usual hiding
and sleeping places. During a fire, they’ll be terrified, and are likely to hide
in their favorite retreats.
If possible, escort your pets to safety on leashes, or crates/cages. In an emergency,
a cat can be carried inside a pillow case and a belt of string can be used as a
leash. Obedience-trained dogs will be more likely to cooperate with their owners
during the evacuation and ensuing chaos. Include some of your pets’ food in your
family’s emergency kit. Pets’ health records should be included, as a boarding kennel
will always re-quire to have them prior to allowing your pet to stay in their facility.
Always keep current identification on your pet this is a crucial factor in lost
pets being reunited with their owners – especially in fires it is easy for a pet
to run and become lost.
