Firefighters rescue 3 dogs from apartment fire in Lowertown
Ottawa Fire Services says three dogs were rescued Sunday night from an apartment fire in Ottawa's Lowertown neighbourhood.
“Two of the dogs were unresponsive and firefighters began CPR on both of them and administering oxygen to all three,” OFS said on social media.
All three were handed back to the owner, OFS adds.
Firefighters received a call at around 7:12 p.m. for a fire happening in a high-rise in the 300 block of Cumberland Street. Two minutes after the initial call, crews were on the scene and confirmed that the fire was coming from a seventh-floor apartment.
After finding that the source of the fire came from the kitchen area, firefighters prevented the fire from spreading.
Officials note that the apartment was filled with smoke after the fire became under control at around 7:34 p.m. As firefighters searched the unit for any occupants, they found the three dogs.
Residents of the building were displaced for a short period of time and OC Transpo provided a bus shelter until the residual smoke was ventilated out of the structure of the building and it was safe to go back to their units.
