After a cooking session went bad, firefighters in the state of Washington rescued three tiny animals from an apartment.
According to Ileana LiMarzi, a spokesperson for Central Kitsap Incident & Rescue, the fire started at 6:15 p.m., after the occupants started cooking supper.
“Two adults were able to escape,” claims LiMarzi. “When we arrived, we discovered one dog with charred fur and were able to free him. Unfortunately, another dog was discovered and has since died.”
She claims firemen returned to the residence after 45 minutes to look for two surviving pets: Velcro, a 10-week-old cat, and Snakey, a snake.
Using a gadget intended for people, a fireman gave the small black and white cat oxygen.
LiMarzi speculated that the kitten may have utilized one of its nine lives to survive.
“It’s all about placement,” LiMarzi said of how the kitten and snake were able to live for nearly an hour after the dogs were discovered. “The kitten was kept in a carrier, while the snake was kept in a tank.” They were on the opposite side of the kitchen wall.”
According to LiMarzi, the deceased dog may have died from smoke inhalation. While the pet owners are relieved that the bulk of their creatures survived, they are nevertheless distraught over the loss of one of their own.
“When their kitten was recovered, they were overjoyed,” LiMarzi explains. “However, the loss of their dog took precedence.”
Despite their anguish, she stated that they were looking forward to the homecoming of their dogs, who had been taken to a veterinary facility for examinations.
LiMarzi adds, “You never know how these things will influence children.” “There was a lot of smoke in there, so their survival is rather surprising.”
