SAINT PAUL MN: A dog was successfully revived by Saint Paul firefighters after being rescued from an early morning house fire Wednesday, according to the Saint Paul Fire Department.
Fire crews were dispatched shortly after 3:00 a.m. to the 1100 block of Jessie Street following reports of a house fire. When firefighters arrived, they found a kitchen fire that was quickly brought under control.
All of the home's occupants had safely escaped before crews arrived. However, during a search of the residence, firefighters located an unconscious dog inside the home.
The dog was carried outside, where Saint Paul Fire-EMS personnel performed CPR and administered oxygen for approximately five minutes. The efforts were successful, and the dog regained consciousness, eventually jumping into the back seat of a vehicle on its own, according to the fire department.
Two residents were evaluated at the scene for minor injuries. No additional injuries were reported.
The cause of the fire was not immediately released.
