Escambia EMS Crew Saves Kitten Suffering From Smoke Inhalation
December 8, 2015
An Escambia County (FL) EMS crew is being credited with saving the life a kitten found near death as a mobile home was burned in Flomaton.
Firefighters from the Flomaton, Friendship and Pineview fire departments burned the abandoned trailer on Sue Street in Flomaton Saturday as a training exercise.
The kitten was found under the porch of the burning mobile home, nearly dead from smoke inhalation. The Escambia County EMS crew fashioned a kitty oxygen mask from a water bottle and nursed the kitten back to health with no apparent lasting injuries.
The training exercise gave the fire fighters from the three departments the chance to see how fire grows, learn techniques for knocking it down, and real life experience for those that had never experienced a structure fire. During the weeks before the burn, firemen also used the trailer to practice forcible entry, victim searches and victim removals.

It seems they also got to practice some smoke inhalation rescue skills! I like the resourcefulness in making a mask to fit….you never know when a small person might need their skills! Good job guys!
