Pet Oxygen Masks Donated to Cocoa Fire Department

Invisible Fence of Florida Donates the Life-Saving Equipment
to Help Save Thousands of Pets That are Involved in Fires Each Year


Invisible Fence of Florida is donating life-saving pet oxygen masks to the Cocoa Fire Department on behalf of Invisible
Fence Brand’s Project Breathe
Program.

Each year, it’s estimated that more than 40,000 pets die in fires, most succumbing to smoke inhalation. The reality in most cases is that first responders lack the equipment to resuscitate and save these animals. Programs like Project Breathe are addressing this issue.
