“It was an oven fire that extended to the kitchen,” Post said. The apartment’s occupants were able to get out unharmed, but firefighters had to pull a small unconscious dog from inside the apartment.

The dog was given oxygen at the scene and is now doing really well, Post said.

The fire was knocked down in less than 10 minutes, and no injuries were reported.

  1. I love this story. Thank you firefighters your all heroic work. In my family your all loved. Thank you

    • Ya but that is the lovely A.V. that dumps their pets on the streets and could care less if they get picked up and placed at the shelter..and of course this area is overpopulated with animals because careless pet owners don’t believe in spaying and neutering..or think they are a know it all breeder who is all about the profit…has nothing to do with the firefighters doing their job…think about it

    • Why of course not! Only murders, traffic manglings, shootings and government corruption are fit to print… SMH! Some people like good tidbits every once in a while. News does not always have to be depressing. Remember that.

    • Yes actually it is Jason W. This story is just 1% of what our local FF’s do daily, Im sure you can fit this in while you play COD and listen to Drake and ask your mom whats for dinner.
