Seminole County, Fla. (March 4, 2025) – Seminole County Fire Department recently received a donation from the nonprofit Mona Pants Foundation for life saving pet-specific oxygen masks. Thanks to the generosity of their dedicated supporters, first responders can now have more pet oxygen masks, which aide pets in emergencies such as fire or accidents. This will not only be saving the lives of pets but also providing peace of mind to their owners. 

In addition, the U.S. First Responders Association donated an additional pet mask per every station at the Seminole County Fire Department (20 in total).

“We utilize pet masks on scene quite frequently,” said Training Lieutenant Joshua Marzolf who helped facilitate the donation. “We do have pet oxygen masks, but we are always needing more and are very thankful for the generous donations do our first responders to help save our Seminole County pets.”

“At Mona Pants Foundation, we firmly believe that every pet deserves the same level of care and compassion as their human counterparts. Pets are cherished members of our families,” said Keli Hogan of the Mona Pants Foundation. “Our dedication to this mission is rooted in the countless heartwarming stories we have received describing how these masks have played a pivotal role in saving the lives of pets caught in dire situations. “
