ets nationwide are con- sidered beloved mem- bers of the family. Pet
ownership throughout the U.S. has skyrocketed, with approximately 12.6 million Americans opening their home to a new pet since March 2020, according to a study by the American Pet Products Association.
Whether you’re a first-time pet owner or a pet pro, it’s important to consider your furry family members when preparing for the unexpected. First Alert offers the following tips to help families be pre- pared in case of a fire or car- bon monoxide (CO) incident.
PREVENT A FIRE
While candles add ambi- ance, it’s important to never burn them unattended. Wag- ging tails and pawing kitties can haphazardly knock over candles, which can poten- tially cause a fire. Additionally, avoid electrical fires by secur- ing loose wires and running

PROTECT AGAINST THE SILENT KILLER
Due to their smaller size,
your pet may be affected by CO poisoning before you. Signs of CO poisoning can include weakness, sudden vomiting, difficulty breath- ing, seizures and even loss of consciousness. The only way to detect CO poisoning is by equipping your home with working CO alarms. For premium protection against fire and CO, install combina- tion alarms with two-in-one protection, such as the First Alert 10-Year Battery Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Alarm, which eliminates battery re- placements for a decade. Once installed, maintenance is key. Remember to test your alarms regularly and replace smoke alarms every 10 years and CO alarms every five to 10 years, depending on the model.
IMPROVE THEIR SAFETY WHEN HOME ALONE
To help ensure your pet is safe even while you’re not home, use a pet gate to keep your animals in the main liv- ing area for easy rescue in case of an emergency. Place pet alert stickers on win- dows near each entrance
to inform firefighters of the presence of pets in your house.
HAVE AN EMERGENCY ESCAPE PLAN
When planning your emergency escape route, don’t forget to include your pets. Know which family members will be re- sponsible for each pet and note their hiding spots for a faster evacuation. Have leashes and collars stored near the main entrance of your home and, if possible, near other potential exits during an emergency, so you can grab them on your way out the door. Practice your escape plan at least twice a year, including crat- ing your pets. And, remind your family to never delay escape or go back inside to rescue your pet. If a pet is missing, inform the fire de- partment dispatcher when you call and the responders when they arrive.
