Firefighters save dog in Palmdale apartment fire

by Luis Meza • January 15, 2015

PALMDALE – A Palmdale family’s pet dog is alive thanks to local firefighters.

A fire broke out around 5 p.m. Thursday at the Carmel Apartments on the 38700 block of 11th Street East in Palmdale.

Firefighter saves dogFirefighters arrived and found smoke coming out of a second floor apartment, according to Capt. Jessica Post of the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

“It was an oven fire that extended to the kitchen,” Post said. The apartment’s occupants were able to get out unharmed, but firefighters had to pull a small unconscious dog from inside the apartment.

The dog was given oxygen at the scene and is now doing really well, Post said.

The fire was knocked down in less than 10 minutes, and no injuries were reported.

      Ya but that is the lovely A.V. that dumps their pets on the streets and could care less if they get picked up and placed at the shelter..and of course this area is overpopulated with animals because careless pet owners don’t believe in spaying and neutering..or think they are a know it all breeder who is all about the profit…has nothing to do with the firefighters doing their job…think about it

    Is this really a story worth printing?

      Why of course not! Only murders, traffic manglings, shootings and government corruption are fit to print… SMH! Some people like good tidbits every once in a while. News does not always have to be depressing. Remember that.
