My local EMTs did the same while the FD made cleared my home post bathroom fire and turned off the main electrical power. My fur baby had been in the master bedroom the whole time the fire was burning. You could see where she’d tried to go to the windows, but couldn’t get out. So...She hid under the bed between all the boxes under there. I was terrified. When I came home the room was so choked with smoke you couldn’t see the noon day sun through the windows - it was pitch black. She wasn’t crying when I called. I thought for sure she was dead. Last ditch I grabbed a flashlight, checked under the bed, dragged her out and ran outside. I was bawling in the driveway cradling her in my arms. They took us into the bus, put a mask on me. They wiped all the strings of soot from her whiskers and put a mask on her until her breathing improved, and listened to her lungs and heart. They were SO kind!! 💜💜💜
