Fire Fighters in Hillsboro, Portland, USA came to the rescue of a cat trapped in a burning house. The heroic fire crew discovered smoke billowing out of the property’s front windows and upon entering the house, discovered smoke down to waist level.
The fire crew had noticed that two television sets were on, which suggested somebody was home. In order to establish if there was indeed anybody trapped inside, high-tech thermal imaging cameras were employed and they detected a warm body in the smoke-filled living room.
The body belonged to a cat, understandably frightened by the situation, trying to find a place to hide. The brave fire crew immediately set to work shepherding the cat outside to the front yard. Thanks to their couragous efforts, the cat made a full recovery.
The fire was caused by an electrical fault in a mini-fridge in the pantry. It was a lucky escape for the cat. The mini-fridge didn’t make it.
