KENTVILLE, N.S. — A Hantsport company is helping to ensure that Nova Scotia firefighters and other first responders have the tools they need to help animals overcome by smoke.
On March 6, Zwicker donated two new pet oxygen mask kits to the department on behalf of Invisible Fence. This was the 150th donation of its kind made by the company over the past 15 years. Along with goldendoodle Lulu, Zwicker demonstrated to firefighters how to use the masks. The kits come with three masks with rubber dams, a small, a medium, and a large. The kits include two slip leads and a flow chart that shows how to properly use them.
Although the kits cost approximately $100 excluding the oxygen tank, Zwicker said Invisible Fence donates them to first responder organizations for free.
