DUBLIN firefighters have been deemed as heroes after rescuing a cat from a blaze that posed severe danger.
Firefighters from Dolphins Barn in Dublin were called out following reports of a house fire in Ballyfermot.
While dealing with the blaze, firefighters were alerted to a cat who needed to be rescued.
The cat was located by a BA crew, but was unconscious once it was found.
One firefighter placed a pet oxygen mask on the cat, whose name is Biscuit, in an effort to bring the tiny animal back to consciousness.
After only 10 minutes, Biscuit was right as rain and back snuggling into its owner.
Dublin Fire Brigade said: “Firefighters from Dolphins Barn rescued Biscuit from a house fire in Ballyfermot yesterday evening.
