Severe water shortages in the Palouse forced firefighters to use cats to extinguish a house fire Thursday. “We lay them head to tail,” explained Lewiston firefighter Laura Gifford. “They put out the fire, plus it reduces the burden on our overcrowded animal shelters. It’s a real win-win situation. Except maybe for the cats.”

I wonder if this fire-person would pose without a shirt? I’d enjoy that.
