More firefighters everywhere are using pet oxygen masks now to save the lives of family pets overcome by smoke inhalation or injury due to house fires. To many people the loss of a pet can be almost as bad as the loss of a family member.

Thanks to all, after I created this story I noticed there was already about 5 similar ones in the last year so I sort of abandoned the story after that point. But obviously it's a great thing for pets as the loss of a pet to some people is as bad as losing a family member. Plus it saves the cat or dog's life. Most firefighters carry them now across the nations as it makes the firefighters feel better too to save a dying animal.
