Christine
Figueroa came down from her office was surprised to find
firefighters extracting a kitten from under her SUV.
Wednesday
November 7th in the Bank of America building at 5800 w Glenn in
downtown Glendale Arizona The cries of a kitten were heard by a
passer by and reported to the Glendale Fire Department.
The fireman
responded to the call for assistance and used inflatable air
bags to be able to raise the SUV so they were able to reach up
under the SUV just to get into the area the kitten occupied..
Once they had
the physical clearance to reach the kitten, they extracted it
and they wrapped the kitten in a blanket to prevent it from
going further into shock.
Each Glendale
Fire truck is equipped with a "FIDO BAG" that contains
oxygen, various sized oxygen masks for different sized animals,
a water bowl blanket and other first air supplies to assist a
pet in need.
The Kitten
received the benefit of the FIDO BAG's Blanket, Oxygen and water
bowl as fire fighters stove to ease little kitty's pain and shock.
A survey of the
kittens condition was taken , and it was determined there
were some little burns a broken leg and other minor scrapes.
The
“Fido Bag” was unveiled April 11th, at the Sun
Valley Animal Shelter located
at 7150 N. 110th at 10:00AM. The “Fido Bag” contains the
necessary medical equipment to provide oxygen, treat burns, and
provide treatment for the injured pets.
Deputy
Chief
Elio Pompa, for the Glendale Fire Department explained: "Each
year the Glendale Fire Department responds to house fires where
family pets are unable to escape the flames, suffer severe smoke
inhalation and burns. Many pets do not survive these fires".
With the
addition to each truck of this rescue bag, many more pets
are sure to survive.
Christine
Figueroa, who owned the SUV took the kitten to Palm Glen Animal
Hospital for evaluation. It was confirmed that the tiny kitten did
indeed have some burns, which are easily recoverable but also a
badly broken front leg that will need to be amputated. According
to employee Joyce Darra, who will adopt the tiny kitten, "
Kittens seem to adapt to having only three legs"
Deputy Fire
Chief of Community Services Chuck Montgomery stated: "Fire
fighters value all life and are privileged to relieve suffering
when able."

“Even though our first priority will always be to save human lives, we know that for every 6 out of 10
residential fires we respond to, we
can expect to find a pet or two inside”, said Fire
Chief Mark Burdick. “This
Fido Bag is yet another innovative way to increase the level of
service to the community, and provides us with a unique way to treat
our 4 legged friends” he concluded.
