Firefighters rescue pets from fire

After a fire at a Saskatchewan home, firefighters saved two dogs and one cat.

Members of the Regina Fire Department rushed two cats and a dog out of a burning house Tuesday afternoon.

Angela Prawzick, spokesperson for the Regina Fire Department, said a neighbour called 911 at 1:45 p.m. to report a fire at 18 Scrivener Cres.

“Both the two cats and the dog looked like they certainly suffered some smoke inhalation. Our firefighters did administer oxygen to the dog, (and) they did provide some life-saving efforts to all of the animals,” she said.

“They’ve since been brought to the veterinarian’s. . . . I’m not sure what their status is at this point.”

Prawzick reminded people that when their house is on fire, their first priority should be to get out of the house.

In our Pet Tech First Aid & Care classes, we teach the idea that Prawzick mentioned…ensure your own safety, then your pets. Once you’re safe, then you can assess the situation and work on how to safely take care of your pets.
