| You can donate Animal Resuscitation Equipment to your Local Fire Department |

Here's How:
1. Contact your local Fire Chief and ask if the
department has animal resuscitation equipment.
2. If not, ask if they would accept the equipment as
a donation
3. Most departments have oxygen tanks on their
trucks, ask if yours does. They will need it to
use with the masks.
4. You can order Surgivet oxygen masks from
www.helpanimalsinc.org for $55.00 per set.
These masks give supplemental oxygen to
animals who have suffered smoke inhalation
but are still breathing on their own.
5. Print off a copy of Canine CPR on this page to
bring to the Fire Department when you deliver
the equipment. Note to them that the Oxygen
masks eliminate the need to do rescue
breathing. If the department has an Ambulance
Service, the EMT's will already know how to use
this equipment as it is very similar to the human
equipment they already use. They can pop off
the human mask on a bag valve set and put the
animal mask on if the animal needs to be
ventilated, or use it as it comes for supplemental
oxygen.
6. If you have any questions, please e-mail me at
mainelydanes@yahoo.com. I have donated
this equipment to Fire Departments in 6 towns
in my area, and I can help you.
