Cornwall Fire, Rescue & Community Safety (CFRCS) Service is welcoming the arrival of new equipment which could help save the lives of family pets in the event of a fire.

The specially designed pet oxygen masks have been provided by the not-for-profit organisation Smokey Paws thanks to Pets at Home, who have paid for Smokey Paws to provide the kits for 75 fire stations across the UK.

It is hoped that masks will eventually be available at all CFRCS stations around the county.

Smokey Paws is actively encouraging members of the public and businesses in Cornwall to make donations so these pet oxygen masks are available at fire stations across the county. 

Visit the website www.smokeypaws.co.uk for more information or to make your donation or sponsorship pledge.
