Mission Fire Rescue Service does not rescue cats from trees. We do, however, suggest you contact a tree service for advice on this matter.
A cat stuck in a tree should be rescued by someone with both climbing experience and proper climbing equipment. If you’ve given your cat ample time to come down on its own but the cat seems unlikely to do so, then consider calling a professional. Your local animal shelter or veterinarian may know of services available in your area.
We regularly conduct car seat clinics. Keep an eye out on our events calendar to see when the next one is scheduled.
Mission Fire Rescue Service reminds everyone that under Bylaw 1706-1987 the sale or use of firecrackers and other fireworks of every nature or kind is prohibited within the City of Mission.
The Importance of Home Insurance
Whether you rent or own your home, it is highly recommended that you investigate and secure insurance for your living space. Beyond replacing your belongings, insurance will cover additional living expenses should you become displaced from your home due to an event such as a fire or flood. Living expenses include a place to live, food, and replacement of clothing.
