Preventing smoke inhalation deaths in pets
Emily: 2023 Gold Award Girl Scout
Emily is currently studying graphic design and American Sign Language at Brigham Young University, inspired by two of her passions.
Growing up in Utah, she fell in love with drawing and later started exploring painting and other mediums. Emily fell in love with ASL after having taken two years of classes during high school.
With her Gold Award project, Emily sought to educate pet owners about fire safety with a handout and short animated video. She partnered with the Draper Fire Station to provide her video for station tours and O2 masks from Project Breathe for pets. With proper equipment, firefighters can get faster care to those pets who’ve inhaled smoke.
Emily also worked with various pet-centered businesses that'll print and continuously distribute the flyer to customers. By educating pet owners, they’ll be more cautious of fire hazards and make more informed decisions.
