People consider pets as family but don’t always think about fire safety for them. Below are a few safety tips to consider:

• Pay attention to where your pets like to hide or sleep. This will help in case of a fire or other emergency in locating your pet.
• Keep both the phone number and address of your veterinarian and animal hospital in case of injury to your pet.
• Check your home for loose wires where a pet could accidently pull over a lamp or other electrical appliance.
• Never leave a burning candle or fireplace unattended around your pets.
• Have an emergency plan in place, include crating your pet and/or having a lease handy.
• Prepare a pet emergency kit to include food, water, blanket, medical record, along with any medications they may take.
• Prepare a list of pet friendly hotels or boarding kennels where you can take your pet if needed.
