Text Size: AaAaAaAaAa

The Huntley Fire Protection District will receive on Tuesday a donation to help prevent pets from falling victim to smoke inhalation due to fire.

Invisible Fence of Dundee-McHenry will donate oxygen recovery mask kits for pets to the department, and plans to donate additional kits throughout the area.

"We hope that by donating oxygen mask kits, we will contribute to saving more pets and hopefully protect pet owners that may risk their own life to save a pet in a fire," Joyce Brennan, owner of Invisible Fence of Dundee-McHenry, said in a news release.

Huntley fire officials added that they were thankful for the masks, which will help firefighters efficiently administer oxygen to an animal in need.

For more information on Invisible Fence's donation program, call Brennan at 815-477-1092.
