Pet Oxygen Masks Donated For All Escambia Fire Rescue Stations

July 27, 2016

Escambia County Fire Rescue has received a donation of 66 pet oxygen masks, which can be used to help save the lives of dogs, cats and other pets suffering from smoke inhalation from a structure fire.

These specially-designed animal masks can be used on conscious pets suffering from smoke inhalation or pets that need to be resuscitated after losing consciousness from exposure to the dangerous toxic fumes. The masks will be washed and reused.

Escambia County resident and animal lover Jackie Harrison, with the assistance of Sherry Burton, made the $1,900 donation to ECFR.

    THANK YOU!! Really appreciate the article and especially appreciate these ladies making the donation. I recently wondered if we had these in our departments and wanted to see what to do about getting them. Way to go!! Furbabies are precious and I am grateful that this was done and grateful to the caring emergency workers that will use them to try and save pets in emergency situations.
