Firefighters equipped to save pets

“Pets can succumb to smoke inhalation just like humans,” said Karla Toppen, owner of Invisible Fence of the Tri-States. “They can perish shortly after being rescued. Pets are a part of the family. It’s pretty devastating to lose a pet.”
Local fire departments are being equipped with pet oxygen masks intended to help animals that suffer smoke inhalation, from dogs to cats and even guinea pigs.
The masks were donated by Invisible Fence of the Tri-States as part of a nationwide effort to provide pet masks to every fire station in the U.S. and Canada.
“It’s all about saving lives, whether it’s a human life or pet life,” said La Crosse Fire Department Assistant Chief Warren Thomas.
Pets are just like family to many owners, Thomas said. “There’s just as much concern about them as there would be for a child or grandparent.”
Some people even run back into burning homes to save a pet.
Area firefighters have been known to provide oxygen to rescued pets using masks made for humans. It’ll be much easier with the new ones, Thomas said.
“Pets can succumb to smoke inhalation just like humans,” said Karla Toppen, owner of Invisible Fence of the Tri-States. “They can perish shortly after being rescued. Pets are a part of the family. It’s pretty devastating to lose a pet.”
Pet oxygen mask kits were given to fire departments in Holmen, Onalaska, the town of Shelby and La Crosse.
It adds some comfort to both pet owners and the emergency officials who are tasked with rescuing them, Toppen said.
“Just knowing it’s on the trucks is beneficial,” she said. “Just to know they have the capability to save pets.”
