went and grabbed the wife lunch yesterday than went home to make my own....shortly after i had finished the wife called and said there was a house fire and could i get pics for the newspaper, i said i dont have a camera with me, she said she didnt have a ride so come and get her. drove down the hill, picked her up and we still beat the volunteer ambulance and fire department by a bit....snapped a few shots...lots of smoke, lil flames...someone mentioned no one was home but there were pets in the house and shortly after the firemen went in they started tossing cats and dogs out the front door......since there was no one in the house and there was lil chance of the firemen getting hurt the ambulance crew broke out the oxygen tanks and infant masks to help out the critters. half of which were loopy or completely limp when brought out. 5 dogs, 5 cats and an iguana were saved......3 cats were lost.......in the pic my wife(light blue vest, black sweatshirt) is giving O2 to a cat, the Akita(i think thats what breed it is) pup was completely limp when brought out of the house but snapped out of it rather quickly. my wife is actually quite allergic to cats, as am i, but she didnt hesitate to toss me the camera and jump in and help........
