The City of Longwood Fire Department to Receive Life-Saving Pet Oxygen Masks
Invisible Fence of Florida is donating pet oxygen masks to local fire department
What: Invisible Fence of Florida is donating 12 life-saving pet oxygen masks on October 11, 2022 to the City of Longwood Fire Department to help reduce the number of pet fatalities. The donation is being made on behalf of Invisible Fence® Brand’s Project Breathe™ Program. Each year, it’s estimated more than 40,000 pets die in fires, most succumbing to smoke inhalation. The reality in most cases is that first responders lack the equipment to resuscitate and save these animals. Programs like Project Breathe are addressing this issue.
Since Project Breathe’s inception in 2006, more than 25,000 masks have been donated to first responders including hundreds of masks in Florida. (More details on Project Breathe and service campaign below.)

25,000 Pet Oxygen Masks Donated and Counting: The City of Longwood Fire Department Is Newest Recipient
Invisible Fence of Florida donates 12 pet oxygen masks to The City of Longwood fire department on behalf of Invisible Fence® Brand’s Project Breathe™ Program
Longwood, Florida. (October 11, 2022) – Invisible Fence is not only known for its pet containment system keeping pets happy and safe in their yards, but also safe from other hazards like house fires. Today there are more than three million safer, happier pets and countless lives improved, including hundreds of pet lives saved through the Project Breathe™ Program, the company’s pet oxygen mask donation effort. Since the Project Breathe program’s inception in 2006, over 25,000 masks have been donated to first responders and now the company is giving more. Invisible Fence of Florida grants the newest donation of life-saving devices to The City of Longwood Fire Department – one of many donations by this local authorized dealership.
Each year, it’s estimated more than 40,000 pets die in fires, most succumbing to smoke inhalation. The reality in most cases is that first responders lack the equipment to resuscitate and save these animals. Programs like Project Breathe are addressing this issue.
“The Project Breathe™ Program goal is simple,” said Ed Hoyt, Director of Invisible Fence. “We want to ensure that every fire department and rescue unit across the U.S. and Canada are equipped with life-saving pet oxygen masks.”
The devices will be used for rescues like the recent one in Centerville, Tenn., where Centerville Volunteer Fire Department firefighters responded to a structure fire, describing the events, “Homeowners stated that their dog was still inside the home. Firefighters searched for and found the family pet unconscious. Crews removed the dog and successfully resuscitated it using our new pet oxygen masks that were donated by the Invisible Fence company. The dog was reunited with its owners. Red Cross arrived to assist the family.”
As a program that thrives by word of mouth, Invisible Fence encourages people to contact your local fire department to find out if they have these pet-saving kits. Fire departments can request pet oxygen mask kit donations here. For additional information or questions, customers can call (800)578-3647 or visit InvisibleFence.com.
