JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Fire and Recue Department helped to rescue a cat from a home that was on fire Monday morning near the Mandarin area of Jacksonville.
Firefighters responded to the home in the 3300 block of Blackfoot Trail after reports of a home with heavy smoke sometime before 10:30 a.m. A search of the home showed no one was inside, JFRD said.
However, a firefighter identified as S. Fallon found a "terrified" cat inside the home underneath a couch. Fallon grabbed the cat and brought it outside and soon gave it oxygen and water.
The cat is expected to be okay, according to the JFRD.
The fire department did not report any injuries associated with the fire.
