Firefighters responded to a fire at a home on the 4000 block of Northeast 94th Street in Vancouver Friday afternoon to find that although two boys escaped the growing fire, two pet cats were still inside.
The two cats were quickly located and removed from the house, and were treated on the scene with an animal resuscitation kit. After about 15 minutes of oxygen, both cats were revived and returned to their owners in good condition, fire officials said.
Although officials said the fire, which started in a dryer, grew quickly, it was brought under control in about 20 minutes. No injuries were reported.
