MASK DONATION

Dog club donates oxygen mask sets to local departments

When a fire breaks out, firefighters bring oxygen masks designed for people. But sometimes, those masks don't fit pets.

The Lake Eustis Kennel Club presented the oxygen mask sets to this week to The Villages Public Safety Department, Lake County Fire Rescue and the Lady Lake Police Department.

Many residents in Lake and Sumter counties consider pets to be family members. This attachment to pets makes it harder for some when firefighters arrive at a fire where family pets are suffering from smoke inhalation or worse.

For the firefighters, the situation is even more frustrating when the oxygen masks they bring don't work on small animals. When the need arises, these departments are now better equipped to treat injured animals.

"When you live in a retirement community, the residents do treat their pets particularly as their children," said Gail Lazenby of The Villages Public Safety Department. "If you tell people that a hurricane or tornado is about to strike, they immediately want to grab their animals and find safety. They want to take their pets along with them or else they won't leave. That just shows how much these people love them."

That's why the kennel club distributed the oxygen masks at Monday's Lady Lake Town Commission meeting.

"Pets are very important to people living in this area," said Jackie Baudo, a board member of the Lake Eustis Kennel Club. "For some, it's the only exercise they get when they go outside and walk their pet. In other cases, it fills a void after a loss of someone close and becomes a central figure to that person."

Each set comes in three sizes and can be reused and cleaned multiple times. The masks can come in handy if a pet inhales too much smoke.

Lazenby and his wife have no children, but they do own Annabel, an 11-year-old Maltese. Being a pet owner himself, he understands the connection people have with their pets.

"It's amazing for people to stand by and watch a fire take place but they are taken back when an animal suffers an injury or dies," Lazenby said.

The kennel club had another reason for ordering the mask sets -- honoring an old friend.

In addition to presenting the masks, the club awarded Cabrera a plaque to dedicate to the memory of Mischka, a police dog who died last year from cancer.

Cabrera came with Mischka, a German Shepherd, to the Lady Lake Police Department in 2006 and worked together during the Groundhog Day Tornadoes in 2007.

As the only dog handler team for the department, the two worked long hours to keep things under control. This included looking out for looters, conducting area searches for missing people and conducting narcotic searches.

In addition to honoring the late police dog, the kennel club made Cabrera, who works with another German Shepherd named Tarek, an honorary member of their group.

"There's no question that Mischka is looking down and smiling on us now," Baudo said.

Blaze damages house

By JONATHAN ABEL

CLEARWATER - No one was home when flames ran through the house at 815 Howard St., but firefighters still had victims demanding oxygen: two dogs and a cat.

Clearwater and Largo fire departments were called to the blaze just before 5 p.m. Thursday. The two-story yellow house was home to four apartment units. A fire started on the second-story porch and spread through the top floor, blackening the insides of two apartments.

As the flames were put out, the firefighters carried three pets from the building. They laid them on the back lawn and gently pressed oxygen masks to the pets' faces.

A scruffy brown dog died and was covered by a yellow tarp.

A Labrador retriever and a black cat survived, with help from the oxygen.

County records show that Gerald and Denise Gentile purchased the house in 2004 for $146, 500. They did not immediately return calls left on their answering machines.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation, said Clearwater Fire spokeswoman Elizabeth Daly-Watts. The top two apartments suffered "extensive damage," she said, but it was too early to say whether the house would be inhabitable.

As the fire burned, a power line strung to a corner of the house, fell to the street below, causing electricity to flicker in the neighborhood.

Neighbor Jennifer Barber looked out the window of her house and saw the flames. She pulled up a lawn chair and sat in her front yard, watching the fire departments handle the scene.

"If it hit the tree, it could have spread," Barber said. "It's so sad."
