Upper Saddle River
Upper Saddle River residents Jason and Steven Kolinsky recently donated a set of pet oxygen masks to the Upper Saddle River Fire Department on behalf of Companion Animal Advocates. The masks come in three sizes for small, medium, and large dogs or cats. These specially sized masks will enable firefighters or EMT’s to deliver oxygen to pets in need and, in some cases, save their lives. “People care as deeply about their pets as they do human members of their family,” said CAA Vice President Christine Devereaux. “Now pets in the Upper Saddle River community have a much better chance of surviving smoke inhalation since they have received these masks. These masks work well because they are small, and are designed to fit over snouts. Even birds and hamsters can be placed inside the masks.” “Pets are such a huge part of a family and we are proud to have donated this set to ensure that pets in Upper Saddle River are safe,” said Steven Kolinsky, president of Kolinsky Wealth Management, LLC. “We know that it will help improve the (fire fighters’) response to all member of the community, including pets. We are pleased to know that pets in Upper Saddle River now have a chance of survival in case of smoke inhalation.” To learn more about donating a set of oxygen masks to a local community, contact Christine at (201) 706-7666.
