Firefighters use tiny oxygen masks to rescue hamsters in Olympia, Washington
- 9 years ago
Firefighters in Washington State responding to a fire at a mobile home had their lifesaving skills tested when they found three asphyxiated baby hamsters trapped inside.
A woman in Olympia, Washington had apparently left her dryer on when she left her mobile home on Friday afternoon. When she returned soon after she was shocked to see her house on fire and firefighters battling the blaze.
After they put out the fire, firefighters discovered a family of five hamsters trapped in their cage next to a cute marriage certificate drawn in crayon. The father and mother were awake but their babies weren’t moving.
The firefighters turned to their “Pet Emergency Pocket Guide” and used makeshift oxygen masks and a plastic bag equipped with oxygen tubes to try to resuscitate the hamsters.
Two of the three baby hamsters survived. A third died, unfortunately. The Lacey Fire District 3 later tweeted touching pictures of the rescue and cited the dryer as the preliminary cause of the fire.
