Dog given oxygen therapy

A dog was given oxygen therapy by firefighters following a kitchen fire.

Two crews from Yate and one from Kingswood fire stations were called to the residential property.

Four firefighters in breathing apparatus used two high-pressure hose reels and one 45mm jet to extinguish the fire.

They then used a positive pressure ventilation fan to clear smoke from the property.

One male casualty was treated by paramedics and one cat was sadly deceased.

The cause is thought to be accidental.

90 people die each year because the battery in their smoke alarm was flat or missing.
