Fire Department Receives Donation of Pet Oxygen Mask Kits

Representatives of the Emma Zen Foundation and Furry Face, A Very Cool Dog & Cat Store donated 12 Pet oxygen mask kits valued at $100 a piece to the Redlands Fire Department during the Redlands City Council meeting Tuesday, Oct. 7. The kits can be used to resuscitate pets of various sizes that have been rescued from fires. Oftentimes, pets are home even when families are not and are found overcome by smoke. The pet oxygen mask kits will give firefighters a fighting chance to save the life of a much-loved family pet. This lifesaving equipment for pets is designed to simulate proper pet CPR and gives an adequate constant flow of clean oxygen to a pet in need, making resuscitation both more practical and efficient. The mask works for dogs, cats, birds, and other household-size pets with an effectiveness not previously available. The foundation also publishes training materials to guide emergency personnel in their pet rescue efforts. Redlands Mayor Pete Aguilar and Fire Chief Jeff Frazier accepted the gracious gift on behalf of the Redlands Fire Department. Frazier thanked Lorin Grow, owner of Furry Face, A Very Cool Dog & Cat Store, for bringing attention to the need and launching the fundraising campaign that caught the attention of the Emma Zen Foundation. “We are most fortunate to have members of our community that so willing pitch in to fill important needs like these,” said Frazier.
