Firefighters Save Cat From Blaze, Administer Oxygen Mask

Residents and their pets, including a cat that required an oxygen mask, were safely removed from a burning townhouse in a Chicago suburb Thursday morning.

The Glen Ellyn Volunteer Fire Company responded to the fire about 8:22 a.m. in the 400 block of Ramblewood Drive. A news release from the fire department said heavy smoke could be seen from the burning townhouse. There were no injuries to residents or first responders, the release said. Three cats were rescued, including the one that was administered an oxygen mask, and they all survived.

The fire is now being investigated by the DuPage County Fire Investigation Task Force.
