Actually, this brings up a good point - how many people *do* make an evacuation fire plan for their pets?
I've thought about this many times and the best that I could do was to have an fire extinguisher in every room in the house and keeping two extra crates in the bedroom for stuffing them full of the small dogs and the cats and dropping them out the windows.
It's worth it to make a plan, have 911 and the fire department on speed dial and include a rally point that everyone knows where to meet if a fire does break out in your home.
Some time spent now in planning and practice may save the lives of all involved in the event of an emergency.

This is a great question. Also up for consideration is checking into what your local fire/volunteer dept's policy/procedure is concerning pet rescues. This can be especially important for that unfortunate fire which occurs while you're not home.
Ugh...I'm incredibly scared of fire so it bothers me every time I leave the house with Vader in his crate. I worry about what would happen if a fire broke out and he was trapped There are signs on our door alerting the firemen that there is one dog inside, but I just hope and pray that it would be enough to save him. We have fire extinguishers everywhere and we take precautions but it still worries me. So sad for those pups When I managed the show dog kennel of Golden Retrievers, we had a TON of sprinklers installed and had a set evacuation plan. The owner took incredible precautions to prevent fire, but then again, this is a very responsible breeder....not a puppy mill crook
anyways, i wouldnt be suprised if the owner of this kennel set it on fire herself. man the things ive been reading online about this place...it sounds like an awful awful place.
