Dozens of cats were rescued after a fire broke out in Lombard.

Rescues sometimes mean improvising with equipment that isn't often used for the exact purpose.

Deputy and firefighters administer oxygen, saving a cat revived from a van fire and reuniting it with its owner.

Two cats were killed, and a firefighter was hurt in a Friday night house fire in Hamilton, according to Loudoun County Fire and Rescue.

Firefighters pulled 10 unresponsive cats from a burning mobile home in Yucaipa early Wednesday morning, and only one survived despite crews performing rescue breathing on the animals at the scene.
