How to Celebrate the Day
On this day, make it a point to learn the safety measures and adopt them for the good of your pets. Everyone must understand that when pets are left alone at home, they will tend to play with unattended wires, sometimes they may go to the kitchen in search of food and may end up opening the stove causing a fire. So it’s better to leave your pup in a kennel or a confined place if you plan to leave them alone at the house. By avoiding these accidents, you can keep your pets away from the fire. So this alert deserves a day as it may save your loved pets from unfortunate incidents. Post pictures and share your celebrations on social media by using the hashtag #PetFireSafetyDay.
