Boise firefighter Joe Ostermiller and other firefighters treated three cats with oxygen after rescuing them from a fire in a home on the 1100 block of Fox Lane in Boise Wednesday. A fire was reported by neighbors at 8 p.m. No one was home and the residence sustained heavy damage. Fire officials said the blaze started in a bedroom. Investigators were working to determine a cause. A crowd watched as firefighters used special masks to treat the cats with oxygen and cheered when one unconscious cat was revived. Story here.
