DESERT HILLS, Ariz. — Fire crews came to the rescue of a dog trapped in a fire in Desert Hills Saturday morning.
Captain Brent Fenton with Daisy Mountain Fire & Medical said the dog was found in a smoke filled home after crews put a house fire.
The dog was unresponsive and not breathing. Firefighters used a specialized device to save the dog.
"Our crews were able to successfully resuscitate the dog utilizing our FIDO Bag, which is a specialized bag of equipment used to treat pets after a fire," said Fenton.
The lifesaving bag was provided to the fire department by the Fetch Foundation.
No other injuries were reported in the fire.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
