Firefighters rescued and revived a cat from a townhouse fire Saturday morning in London, Ont.
Fire crews, London police and EMS responded to a call for a basement fire on Country Lane just before noon.
“The call came in for a working structure fire, and they made entry in the basement to extinguish it,” says Chris Walch, a district chief with the London Fire Department.
A firefighter spent more than 10 minutes giving it oxygen before it eventually sat up. It was taken to an emergency veterinarian.
The occupants of the home were able to get out unharmed due to working smoke detectors.
“I have inspectors on route to determine the cause, and working smoke detectors due save lives,” says Walch.
