Laura, as I read your post, I was horrified, but then reading what Micki and Glacier said........it makes sense. It would not hurt for you to find out more about "why" they didnt' do something sooner. Talk with your fire department and ask about their procedures. If nothing else, you might get some peace about the situation. I can imagine that sleep will come with much difficulty for you tonight........and I completely understand why. So try to investigate further, without the anger, as to what is expected, and find out if there is anything that could be changed to try and save animals in the house. If what you witnessed is the norm, then all the stickers in the world aren't going to do any good. All of my pets do not stay indoors during the day when we aren't here, but some of them do. This is scary to me.......
