Tioga VFD training on animal response

If something catastrophic such as a fire happens to a family, the Tioga Volunteer Fire Department wants to try to help keep the loss of a pet from adding to that pain.

That’s why the TVFD invited the Denton County Animal ER out on April 21 for specialized training about animal basic life support care and CPR.

“For about two years, we’ve been searching for somebody to come in [to do the training],” Chief Rick Hartman said. “… With everybody having pets, and pets being more and more family members—now more than ever—we wanted to be able to find a way, if we have an opportunity to help, to try to help.”
