Pasta for Pets!

Pasta for Pets

On December 5, 2012 Bowie CLAW presented thirteen sets of animal oxygen masks to the Bowie Volunteer Fire Department. Each set contains 3 different sized masks. Each unit of the BVFD can now carry a set of masks to be used to resuscitate a pet overcome by smoke inhalation in the event of a fire.

The masks were purchased with the proceeds of September’s Pasta For Pets event held at the Belair station. The community should be applauded and proud that they turned out for this event, which allowed us to purchase equipment which may some day save the life of your pet.

The amount of money raised exceeded the cost of buying masks only for the BVFD. Therefore Bowie CLAW will expend all remaining funds on purchasing masks to present to neighboring Prince George’s County fire departments. We are in the course of identifying those organizations that have the greatest need. We will announce these future presentations as they are made in early 2012.

The event took place at Bowie Fire Department #39 (15454 Annapolis Road) in Freestate Mall. Take a look at some of our great photos!
