The College Station fire department is promoting signage that residents can pick up to show first responders there are pets inside their homes and apartments.

CSFD’s community outreach specialist Harlei Struck says residents can write down the number and types of pets and place them on glass surfaces near entry doors.

Struck says the signage gives first responders a heads up about pets that could display the same anxiety as their owners during an emergency.

Struck also recommends that pet owners have their pets microchipped as another protective measure, should pets run outside.

The signs can be picked up at CSFD’s administration office on Krenek Tap Road next to College Station municipal court.

The Bryan fire department has ordered more pet signs after recently running out.
