Puppies saved in Houston house fire

Houston firefighters rescued more than a hundred pets from a house fire and saved some dogs from a raging fire as well.

The pups were inside the home at the 400 blocks of Melbourne but could escape the fire through a window. Flames and smoke from the house poured into the air as neighbors said it was full of crap.

Firefighters must make regular trips into the burning home because of its volatility. They then went to the burning house to rescue the puppies.

Paramedics administered oxygen for the puppies through a special mask intended for animals found in fires, Carley said. All of the pups who were saved from the fire survived, although several other animals perished in the fire.

While a man was inside a home as the house caught fire, the man escaped safely. Since suffering mild burns, he declined to be admitted to the hospital for medical attention.

When two firefighters entered the building, they tripped over a heap of clothing. They sustained minor injuries, officials said.

The arson investigator is assessing the circumstances that contributed to the fire.
