Critical Safety Steps

During animal rescues, firefighters adhere to strict safety guidelines. Animal reactions can be unpredictable, especially when they feel cornered or scared. Some, driven by raw instinct, may turn aggressive, complicating the mission. That’s why specific protocols are followed to shield both the team and the animals. These include thorough evaluation, using proper tools, and approaching with calm caution. The goal is to minimize stress for the creatures while ensuring the rescuers’ safety.
