Firies And Ambos Resuscitate Cat

[Hairy Maclary]

On the same news site as the story about the dog shot with a bow and arrow - Holly the pet cat was revived after a house fire:

TOOWOOMBA fire and ambulance officers who attended a house fire in Hogg Street, Rockville on Wednesday night are being praised by the owners for resuscitating their beloved moggie, Holly.

Holly was rescued from the fire that destroyed her family home and resuscitated by paramedics in dramatic circumstances.

Owner Renee Collins, whose father is a Fire and Rescue officer himself, could not speak more highly of the crews that attended last night.

"I can’t praise the fire brigade enough, you couldn’t have asked for a more professional and compassionate bunch of people," Ms Collin said.

Lovely to hear. It helps you to remember that there are also some very caring and compassionate people out there, we hear so many horrible stories. A happy ending. And what hero"s!

Oh - I have tearies after watching that. That man was lovely - wrapping kitty gently and reassuring the owner as he did so.

Fabulous job!!

How sweet were those firies!!

A real lovely video. Saved the family from dealing with losing their cat on top of dealing with the fire!!

The fire was started when a discarded cigarette fell behind their couch. They are lucky they didn't kill themselves and their pets.

These people are friends of friends and at that stage that the news went to print the cause of the fire was unknown.

The paper have been blasted about reporting something that has not yet been established.

But they dont care.

It was lucky the man was still awake.

so glad the kitty made it.

When we were told what happened it brought a tear to my eye.

Good on the firies and ambos for helping to save the kitty
