Liverpool Fire Department is proud to announce that we have partnered with Invisible Fence to attain pet oxygen masks. These kits will allow first responders the ability to administer a high concentration of oxygen in the event that an animal has suffered from smoke inhalation. We would like to thank Invisible Fence of the Finger Lakes, Midstate, and Syracuse for their generous donation. We look forward to continuing to work with them to acquire more kits for other apparatus. Picture below is Kurt Grage of Invisible Fence with Chief J. Loucks.

RECEIVES DONATION TO SAVE PETS FROM FIRE This donation is just a small part of Invisible Fence® Brand’s Project Breathe™ program, which was established with the goal of equipping every fire station in America and Canada with pet oxygen masks. These masks allow firefighters and EMS staff to give oxygen to pets who are suffering from smoke inhalation when they are rescued from fires and often save pets’ lives. Invisible Fence® Brand has donated a total of more than 18,200 pet oxygen masks to fire stations all over the U.S. and Canada throughout the life of the program. A reported 170+ pets have been saved by the donated masks so far, one family dog most recently in Baltimore by the Baltimore County Fire Department. “When a family suffers the tragedy of a fire, lives are turned upside down,” said Ed Hoyt, Director of Invisible Fence® Brand. “Pets are valued family members, so we want families to know that their pet can be cared for if tragedy strikes.” “We realize that humans are the first priority, but in many cases, pets can be saved if firefighters have the right equipment,” said Hoyt. “Project Breathe™ program is simply a way of giving firefighters the tools necessary to save pets’ lives.” Liverpool, NY and surrounding areas are now joining the ranks of cities like Seattle, Chicago, Denver, and Salt Lake City who have all received donated pet oxygen masks from Project Breathe™ program.
