These are all great tips! Also very good questions. Where are the answers to the questions?

How do you get a large dog down a fire escape ladder from 2nd, or 3rd, etc. floor? Throw a wet blanket over you and your dog and wait for firetruck ladder? Risky. Build a ramp of some sort? Dog escape ramp would be a great invention. Or some sort of safety harness and pulley system.

Pet stickers for windows. ASPCA has them. I got mine for free. Google ASPCA.org. They are plastic window clings. Work great! I have one on every side of the house, in every room.

Great idea! Going to put a leash in my bedroom!

All fire departments need oxygen masks for animals.

Keep tags on dogs at all times and/or microchip. Put tags on collars that buckel only! Collars that have plastic clasps (clip together) are not reliable! They do break easy! This happened to me and I have heard of it happening to many others. Do not tie your dog out with them!

Thanks for a great article!

Oujr bedroom is on the second floor and we have a 70 lb Akita mix. Is there any 2nd floor fire escape gadget for large dogs? I know we can get a ladder for us, but getting him in one of our arms and navigating down the ladder would be really iffy.

this isssue is very close to our heart since we were involed in a fire and lost everything this april. make sure your somke detors are up to date. Make sure that you keep all your vet records in two places. i laned up at the emcney vet with non trying to fill in gaps. Make sure you keep a spare set of things you will need food/ littler box the next thing is make sure your pet is mirico chiped thats will help in idfiction put sings up on your window in my case they did not fid my 3 babbys till 3 days latter i was so scard.

we use battery powered tea lights instead of real candles to lessen the chances of fires and keeps our kitties from getting burnt/ singed by the flames
