Maybe I should put signs up in my windows asking the fire !!department to risk their lives to save my PC. !I thought he meant so they could avoid those rooms and the risk of getting !bitten or attacked by a pet in a panic. No, I actually meant (and believe) that the stickers would notify the firefighters that there are animals possibly suffering from smoke inhalation inside the house. You do bring up an interesting point, though. Another interesting point is that often dogs have alerted firefighters to the presence of a child in the house. Michael -- Taking action is a choice.
