Flanders will soon offer a standard sticker to be affixed to home windows to alert firefighters of the presence of domestic pets, Flemish Minister of Animal Welfare Ben Weyts said on Friday. Similar stickers were recently introduced in Brussels.
If the main objective of firefighters is to save lives and to ensure that the material damage is as small as possible, the sticker "pets" will go further and result in an optimal intervention to save also animals, the authorites in Brussels stated.
