Some rescues involve a lot more than just grabbing an animal and getting it out of harm’s way. Firefighters Christopher Hughes and John Garcia stated that there was zero visibility due to the thick black smoke but they were able to locate and rescue the second dog, Shakira, with the help of the department’s electronic thermal imaging device. The rescue team turned the 5 month old puppy over to Paramedic Driver Engineer Chris Lemmond and Driver Engineer Evan Schantz for treatment. The puppy was not breathing when it was found but DE Lemmond performed mouth to snout rescue breathing and firefighters quickly hooked up to the animal rescue oxygen masks donated to the fire department….
