The firefighters' publication underscores the importance of every life, highlighting that behind every intervention there are stories that can have a happy ending, like that of this animal. The fire, which mainly affected a room and the hallway of an eighth-floor apartment, rendered the property uninhabitable due to significant damage.
The scene of the dog in the arms of one of the personnel has served to highlight the reality that companion animals are also part of families and that their rescue is an essential part of emergency operations. The animal was ultimately safe after receiving the necessary care.
