Inside the house filled with thick smoke and intense heat, they found the bodies of three puppies and a female dog.


Fire crews from Stations No. 1, 2 and 6 worked quickly to extinguish the blaze.
“Once we got the fire under control, we went in to get the puppies – and one of them was moving,” McGee said.


“When he was first brought out, he was virtually lifeless – showing only a small amount of movement,” McGee said. “And then within about 10 minutes, he began to move around a great deal – trying to wriggle away, out of the oxygen mask – and he began to whine and try to bark.”

“We recognize that in many cases, pets are truly a member of the family,” he said. “While it’s tragic that all the puppies did not survive, it’s very rewarding for the firefighters to have saved that puppy. We’re very appreciative to the Friends of Rocky Mount Animals for donating this equipment to us.”

God bless the Friends of Rocky Mount Animals for donating the equipment so that the firefighters were capable of saving the puppy. Hopefully they will be able to save more pets in future now that they have it.
