Abstract
An animal holding facility with automatic evacuation system is disclosed, comprised of an otherwise conventional kennel. Installed inside of the kennel is an automatic fire/smoke/carbon dioxide detection system utilizing a plurality of smoke and/or fire and/or carbon monoxide sensors. An audible alarm activates upon triggering of the sensors. A common fire door open automatically and a hydraulic animal ejection means gently sweeps or guides the animal out of the kennel through the fire exits. A slide is located at the outside entrance to each fire exit. A cushioned pad is located on the bottom of each slide. A fenced-in area is located at the base of each slide, and is designed to retain the animals in a restricted area away from the fire or smoke or carbon monoxide.
