Firefighter’s kitten rescue captured by helmet camera

[The Straight Story]

A Fresno firefighter searching a fire-damaged home came across a kitten clinging to life, reports CBS47.tv.

"I looked down and you can actually see the cat shining in the spotlight of my flashlight. And I looked back and that's when I saw the cat and grabbed him," said Cory Kalanick, the firefighter who found the kitten.

CBS47.tv reports that the kitten was not moving when Kalanick picked him up. Careful not to put the struggling cat on the hot pavement, Kalanick held it in his glove, poured water on its fur, and gave it an entire tank of oxygen. After around 15 minutes of massage, the cat — since named Lucky — came back to life.

The cat's amazing rescue and resurrection were captured on Kalanick's helmet camera.

In an interview with CBS47.tv following the rescue, Kalanick said that he is sometimes teased by his fellow firefighters for being a vegan.

1. the main thing i noticed was that the woman had bars over her door and windows = bad

neighborhood.

i would be more interested in a story about why she needs so many bars.

2. I'm sure if you google the location and crimes

or something along those lines, you will find some stories.

3. So glad he took the time to help this tiny creature, and the people who have loved it.

I hope it will recover, and I know the people of the home will never forget this act of true kindness.

Thank you for sharing it.
