Pets all set in case of fire

I saw this in yesterday's newspaper.....

On Wednesday the Boston Fire Department received a donation of small oxygen masks designed for pets which will become standard equipment on every truck in the city, officials said.

The 60 masks to fit small snouts were a gift from the Well Pet pet food company and the Massachusetts Veterinary Medical Association.

Like oxygen masks for people, the masks are intended to help lungs recover from inhaled smoke.

"Smoke doesn't discriminate," said Fire Department spokesman Steve MacDonald.

WOW! Every fire dept should have those as standard equipment. So many more pets could be saved!
