Firefighters Save Feline with CPR
When Columbia, South Carolina firefighters found the unresponsive feline amidst the burning house, they didn’t hesitate.
They whisked Soldier outdoors and began chest compressions and CPR using an oxygen kit specifically for animals.
The unit is called the Wagn’N O2 Fur Life, and was donated to the fire department by members of the community.
The Fire Chief says his firefighters take life-saving very seriously, whether they’re saving a person or a pet.
The Wagn’N O2 Fur Life has been used several times already to save our hairy loved-ones. If you’re interested in donating to the Wagn’N 02 Fur Life fund, visit www.petoxygenmasks.org and selecting the Columbia Fire Department.
