Surrey firefighters rescue cat from house fire
About 25 firefighters and seven vehicles responded as all occupants escaped and the cat received oxygen and comfort at the scene.
On Tuesday, Surrey Fire responded to a house fire in the 13400 block of 98 Avenue around 10:30 a.m., rescuing a small cat from the burning two-storey home.
A second alarm was called, which brought about 25 firefighters on seven firefighting vehicles to contain the blaze at the residential property.
All occupants of the home made it out safely, according to a Black Press freelancer at the scene who documented the emergency response.
Firefighters rescued the small cat and treated it at the scene with "oxygen and comfort," the freelancer said, before all residents and the animal were accounted for.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation as Surrey Fire officials work to determine the origin of the blaze following the successful rescue operation.
