Six dogs were rescued from a burning building this week thanks to North Bastrop County Fire Rescue and the Elgin Police Department.
It's not clear what caused the blaze, but it was put out within 10 minutes."It does kind of create a hectic environment not knowing what we're going to arrive on scene to," Chief Marco Martinez said."The guys did a great job of getting bunked out, extinguishing the fire, checking for hot spots and again rescuing those animals," Martinez said.North Bastrop County Fire Rescue responded to a structure fire that was extinguished within 10 minutes.
The dogs got out as smoke filled the structure. While those dogs weren't hurt and didn't need oxygen masks, there are masks for pets on hand. "This is a special formulated mask for pets, different sizes, it goes around their nose, and then we can just hook them up to oxygen," Martinez said. Burnt parts remain on the affected structure, but the important thing is everyone and their companions are okay.
"Pets are an extension of your family right, some people say they are family," Martinez said. "Everybody was safe and sound and accounted for which is the biggest thing."As a general fire safety tip: make sure you have working smoke detectors.that I have read and agree
