FYI : A Vital Warning

If fire breaks out in your home in your absence, it may prove wise to have a decal posted on the front door or window to alert fire fighters that your pet is inside. The pictured decal is provided at any county animal shelter for $1, or call (213) 922-8888. And Pet Alert offers a decal that reads “Pet alert; in case of fire, save pets inside.” Labels are also available with the word pets replaced with dog , cat or caged pet . For three labels, which can be worded differently, send $2 and a self-addressed, stamped envelope to Pet Alert, P.O. Box 11930, Chicago, Ill. 60611.
